This is a really nice park. They've got a little lake with a fountain and there were tons of baby goslings which was super cute. The playground was really nice and my daughter had fun playing there. They have a good picnic structure lots of grassy area for picnic or sports all around Goode Park lots of parking. read more

I think their slogan should be "O'Kane Park: Not Nearly As Sketchy As You'd Think." Or is it just me that thinks that rhyming your park with the name of an illegal controlled substance was a bad idea? At any rate, I've seen some sketchy, skeevy parks in the Denver Metro area, and I'm happy to report that-- despite it's poor choice in monikers-- O'Kane park is NOT one of them. The play structure? IS AWESOME. It's remarkably graffiti-free (no small feat on the West Si-yeeeed) and big enough so that even when it's crawling with ankle-biters on a sunny Saturday afternoon, the kids have room to roam. There are slides for every age and bravery-level, plus lots of tunnels, rings, bridges, and poles. If you happen to fall off any of these things, you'll land in some soft, clean wood chips. Nice! Aside from the playground, there are covered picnic/BBQ areas (available to reserve, if need be), plus ACRES of green field space, walking trails, tennis and basketball courts, and a little pond. Dogs do need to be on leash here, and most people respect that. Of note: the place can be crawling with Bitchy Belmar Mommies. Last time I was there, my 19-month-old had the AUDACITY to touch another kid's sippy cup (the horror!). BBM came swooping in, antibacterial wipe in hand, nose all out of joint and practically busting a vein in her forehead. "Sorry," I said, casually (because it was REALLY no big deal), "he's in that 'grab everything' stage." I didn't mention that when you bring a brightly-colored wagon full of toys and sippy cups to a public playground and park it right next to the slides, you really can't expect other kids NOT to take an interest in it. "Well!" BBM huffed at me," MY kids are preemies, and they just recently got over being sick, so..." In that "..." were implied the words: "keep your filthy kid's germy hands off my stuff." Um, hello? A) You're at a public playground, and that big ol' jungle gym your darlings are climbing upon has WAY more germs on it than my kid's hands ever will. And B) your kids are like, FOUR FREAKIN' YEARS OLD. If you're still playing the preemie card, you have some serious issues, lady. Anyhow, Bitchy Belmar Mommies notwithstanding, O'Kane Park is a pretty cool place. Check it out! read more

The playground in O'Kane Park is one of the most colorful play area in town (it's also known as "Rainbow Playground"). It has room for a lot of kids, features a separate swings area, and is located only a short walk from both the nice pond and vibrant flower garden.

My sister's baby shower was held here and the park is very nice to look at, but if you are shelling out $190 to rent one of the two gazebo areas, make sure it's the one by the playground. The other one, which is right by the pond, would be nice if it was kept up with. However, there was goose poop under many of the tables and walking areas. Not to mention this one was over run by wasps and bees. We were constantly having to bat them away, only to find a wasp nest right in the rafters. If you have to use the restroom, which is across the park by the other gazebo, be warned. The ladies stalls had no doors. Next time, I'll stick to Morse Park. read more

I've lived near O'Kane Park for most of my life. It's gone through many changes, most of them being positive. They have a little pond with a nice fountain on the east side of the park. They closed off and remodeled the area where the steps used to be. Just as well, as the water was dirty (algae and the like) and they didn't want you swimming in it anyway. There are two large fields for people, dogs, and geese to run around and enjoy. There are two parking lots and some street parking (mostly on the north side). They have a fenced-in tennis court area (3 courts wide, I believe) that is really popular with people and their dogs. The playground is awesome, as Kym wrote. It's fairly current and in really good shape. It's fun for big kids as well as little kids. They do a decent job of cleaning up the area, so it's not too common to find trash or undesirables in the play area or nearby shelter. There are a few benches placed around the upper playground. The lower play area has a few swings and tire swings, too. The path around the perimeter is long, and you can take shortcuts if you want. People are friendly and will smile and say hi most of the time. Bikers seem to know their manners and will call out when they're getting ready to pass a pedestrian. Crotchety old men may or may not yell at you for chasing the geese and causing them to fly away en masse. I've been here at various times of the day and in the evening when the sun is mostly down and I've never feared for my safety (and I'm paranoid). This park is just nice and shows the pride of Lakewood takes in maintaining its parks. read more

Great park for families! We were visiting from out of town and needed to get out of the hotel and burn some energy. This park was perfect. Lots of space to run and play, an awesome playground, swings, basketball courts, tennis courts, and a walking trail gave us lots of options for exercise and play. read more

I would take my date out here any day. The ocean-like sky, the greeny green grass is so fun to roll in. I think my best friend is lucky to live around this little area and i think it was a gift for her to take me here. Dog friendly and baby friendly. Perfect for sunsets and kisses. read more

Any park with a water feature is a big plus, bit o the whole the flat terrain limits the appeal. Its also bordered by a very busy street (1st) and its dissected by another. Its better than pavement, but pretty bland. read more

Nice path for walking. They have a flower garden in the summer that is beautiful. I small pond that attracts some wildlife. Picnic areas, basketball courts, a new tennis court and plenty of grass space. On the weekends people setup for volleyball and cookouts. Great Lakewood park. Also the original O'Kane house is still standing. read more

What a beautiful place to relax and step away from city life. Absolutely my favorite place to walk my dogs. The sidewalks are very wide. Plenty of room for passing other visitors to the park and their furry friends. People seem to be very respectful about cleaning up after their dogs. A good motivator may be the well placed signs warning of a potential $999.00 fine if you don't. The park is clean and well maintained by the city of Lakewood. One Monday morning this month I saw a park employee pressure washing the covered picnic areas. The only exception to this is the wild geese that do what they seem to do best - poop a lot! Honestly, this really seems to be mostly located around the small pond with the fountain in it which is located on the east side of the park. Personally when on this end of the park I stay on the sidewalk located on the outer perimeter of the park. This seems to minimize the exposure to fecal matter. For me this is such a minor annoyance compared to so many other positive things about this park. There is an abundance of green grass. Flower beds with beautiful summer blooms, as well as a lot of park benches. About the time one could use a short break there is a quiet place to sit and "take it all in". For me the preferred time to stop by here is early morning when it is still cool from our Colorado nights. People of all ages are there. Parents with small children. Grandpas with their grandson's. Small groups of seniors out for a morning walk. Then of course people like me accompanied by their dogs. Everyone I pass acknowledges me with a "hi" or "good morning" and I always respond in kind. It is just a friendly place to start the day. If you are more of a night person the park is reasonably well lit after dark. If you are looking for an exceptional public park to host a large gathering of people do not hesitate to check this out. The rental fees are reasonable. If you are not a resident of the city of Lakewood you will pay $20 to $25 more to rent but I think this is reasonable. They also have tennis courts, basketball hoops, as well as, a large play area for smaller children. If you are ever in Lakewood please take a few moments to stop by this park. Maybe grab some carry out or bring your own picnic lunch and make it extra special. read more
