Lakewood Civic

October is a busy month. We hope you will join us.

• October 1^st from 8 am – 2 pm there will be a Community Garage Sale. There’s still time to register your home to be listed on social media. If you are a LCA member, yard signs are available upon request.  A list of participating homes can be found on the LCA website (lakewoodcivic.org). Sell some items you no longer need or go shopping that day for some great deals.
• October 4^th from 6-8 pm Neighborhood Night Out at Travis Park. There will be snacks, games for adults and kids, prizes and more. Come out and meet your neighbors and City Officials.
• October 1^st – October 21^st there will be a Halloween Decorating Contest. Decorate your yard for a chance to win a gift card. Winners will also have a sign to display in their yard.

These events are brought to you by the Lakewood Civic Association, Lakewood Neighborhood Watch and our wonderful neighborhood volunteers!

At the meeting with the City of Baytown on September 12, 2022, the City presented location options for a park along with several pros and cons for each location. Below are the charts they presented. We have also requested the City create a survey so people who could not attend the meeting will have a chance to provide their opinion. It’s exciting that the process has begun to create a park for Lakewood.

Would you like to see more amenities for Lakewood? The Lakewood Civic Association has been working with the City to build a Dog Park for our neighborhood, and with input from residents there’s also a potential to include a separate play area for children or teens and perhaps even a walking track. A park would be a great enhancement for Lakewood which could increase home values and make Lakewood an even more desirable location to live.

We need your attendance to make this project happen. Please join us on Monday, September 12^th at 6 pm at the Fire Training Field, located at 7022 Bayway Drive. The City of Baytown will be providing information and soliciting input.  

Where to locate the park is key to having a safe, accessible location that takes into account the needs of the park users as well as the effect the park will have on neighbors and the environment. These pictures show maps where the City owns property in and around Lakewood where a park could be situated.

We hope to see you on September 12th!
