Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park — Attraction in Lakewood

I've been to a handful of concerts and events like the recycling fair etc. here. It's a great location - not just because it's in my neighborhood, but also because there's many other parks and schools etc. nearby as well as all the government buildings, making it a central location. I have enjoyed all the events and the history of the facilities, though small, is cool. The outdoor ampitheatre is a great place to see concerts in the summer, and often during events the park is putting on as well. There's a small restaurant and a few other recently added shops.

I'm not sure if the trails at the back of the park that lead to the walking and horse riding trails are considered part of this same park or a separate one. Either way, they are gorgeous. You would never know it but there's a lake right about .5-.75 miles down the trail. I love horseback riding and though I don't own any horses anymore I may have to look into a trail riding company just to ride those trails sometime, the scenery is serene and breathtaking, and pops up around a corner out of nowhere. The trails go for quite a long ways I believe. My partner and I saw doves, a massive turtle (like 50-60lbs!), rabbits, wonderful water/fish eating birds, and more. Definitely will...

Attended a Candlelight Open Air concert at the outdoor amphitheater here recently and it was great! They did an amazing job with the setup for the candlelight and kept everyone socially distanced. Loved the candlelight ambiance. The evening weather that night was perfect for this outdoor concert. The music was phenomenal. We attended the Hollywood Epics and Movie Soundtracks performed by the Velveteen Ensemble Denver and they were awesome! The staff for the event were very helpful and guided everyone to their designated area, they made sure everyone knew where the bathrooms were, and they even helped some groups with carrying and setting up the chairs, coolers or blankets that they brought with them. Each group (2-4 people per group) could pick out a designated square area in their section. The squares were huge and easily fit 4 people. There were only 2 of us in our group and we had plenty of room to spread out 2 blankets, lay down AND spread out all of our stuff. The view was great from any spot. There were mosquitos of course, but it was outdoors. Just make sure to bring some bug spray. Beautiful spot all together. Would definitely attend another...

Julie, while on a random and awkward power-trip was completely unprofessional and rude to the point that I had to leave (As a volunteer). I would highly recommend NOT doing your next event here. I was unloading several cases of beverages for the event that I was a volunteer for, for the concession stand- I received permission directly to unload said beverages closer to the site we were selling them at, but yet this lady took it upon herself to treat me like I was doing something criminally wrong (she yelled at me for about 5 minutes). After berrating me for five minutes, I was finally able to let the group I was volunteering for know I could not work, especially voluntarily, for a situation like this (sorry not sorry, all about helping, but not about being yelled at for no apparent reason by some Karen on a power trip). The people in "management " here need to check themselves, the way they treat people is completely inappropriate. Instead of being able to check out my mom's concert and help sell beverages for them, I had my brother take over and left so this woman would leave us alone. Pretty sad. Incredibly unprofessional...
