Lakewood Civic

If you are interested in getting more involved with our neighborhood, please consider running for the LCA Board.

The purpose of the LCA is to solve community problems of common interest to the residents and property owners of the Lakewood subdivision, but it is so much more than just enforcing deed restrictions. Some activities this past year include working with the City to make street repairs, representing Lakewood in emergency response discussions with ExxonMobil, participating in the City’s focus group for broadband access, improving the driving surface at the Lakewood Boat ramp with a generous donation from ExxonMobil, holding the 2nd annual Holiday Parade while collecting food donations for Helping Hands, continuing oyster growing in Burnet Bay to improve water quality, partnering with Texas Search and Rescue on their training operations, recognizing individuals with the Good Neighbor Award, holding another Summer Kickoff Party at the Lakewood Pool, providing a Welcome Packet to new homeowners, supporting National Night Out, the Lakewood Garden Club, Boat Club and Lakewood Pool, and coordinating Community Garage Sales. Many people volunteer with LCA activities and the more volunteers the LCA has, the more that can be done.

The LCA Board typically meets once a month so it’s a small investment of time with a potential for big community impact. If you are interested in running for the LCA Board please use the ‘Contacts’ tab and choose “Lakewood Civic Board’ to respond and send in your name, address and phone number. Self-nominations will be open until February 28th.

The LCA is partnering with The Baytown Fire Department Office of Emergency Management to inform the Lakewood community about the upcoming Community Emergency Response Team [CERT] program. These free CERT classes aim to educate Baytown citizens on disaster preparedness. At the completion of the program you will receive a FEMA certification from Harris County.

The classes will occur weekly from April 4 through May 23 on Thursday evenings, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. For additional details and registration information, please refer to the CERT flyer below.

Note: This certification program is intended for individuals aged 18 and above. However, 16 and 17-year-old juniors and seniors are welcome to participate with an accompanying parent.

The Lakewood Civic Association has arranged for our members to attend a special performance of Baytown Little Theater’s “Murder on the Nile” on March 21^st. The show starts at 8 pm and there will be light refreshments available starting at 7 pm. Space is limited to 50 people for this free event.

If you would like to attend please use the ‘Contacts’ tab and choose “Lakewood Civic Board’ to respond with your name, if you want 1 or 2 tickets and your phone number. You will receive confirmation if you will have a seat for this performance or will be placed on a waiting list.

The winners of the 2023 Light-Up Lakewood have been chosen by the Lakewood Garden Club Committee. Winners are selected by a scoring system and must not have been selected in the past 2 years. It was a hard decision as always. Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all those who have brightened the neighborhood with all the beautiful lights!

Please join us in recognizing Ken Martin as the latest recipient of the Lakewood Good Neighbor award. Ken has lived in Lakewood most of his life and has been assisting neighbors while also keeping our neighborhood looking nice for decades. He’s been one of the first to aid many neighbors cut up fallen limbs, insulate water pipes, mow yards and help with various home repairs. Ken worked with the Sea Scouts to trench and install the irrigation system for our new Lakewood sign and takes care of the landscaping. He is on the Board of the Lakewood Neighborhood Watch and his volunteer efforts have made Neighborhood Night Out a successful event for many years. His outgoing and friendly attitude has made our neighborhood the best place to live.
