LAKEWOOD

Lakewood is located right at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Major attractions include Belmar, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Colorado Mills Mall, Dinosaur Ridge, and the nearby Coors Brewery. The city offers convenient access to hotels, skiing, golfing, performing arts, museums, professional sports, and more!

Belmar is a vibrant reinvention of downtown Lakewood that evokes the ambiance of an old town village center. The district is based around a central plaza, ringed with cafes that host concerts during the summer months and transform into an ice skating rink during the winter. From there, Belmar spans 22 square city blocks, with restaurants, art galleries, coffee shops, a movie theater, a bowling alley, and clothing and specialty stores. Near Belmar is the Lakewood Cultural Center, featuring a 320-seat theater and rotating visual art exhibits in multiple gallery spaces. You can also create, connect, and celebrate at 40 West Arts, a creative district along West Colfax.

 

The surrounding city of Lakewood offers excellent access to the outdoors, including Bear Creek Lake Park and championship golf courses like Fox Hollow Golf Course and Homestead Golf Course. The Lakewood Heritage Center ishome to indoor and outdoor exhibits exploring the city's history, culture, and natural wonders.
