Palms Park Community Center

Great community park with lots of green area for playing ball, a community center, walking trail, covered picnic tables that can be reserved for group parties, bathrooms, a wading pool, and two nice kids play areas. The kids areas are separated by age 5 – 12 and a gated 2 – 5 years play area. The 5 – 12 play area is updated with lots of swing, climb, and twirl features. The 2 – 5 year area is somewhat basic but does have 2 small play structures where the kids can climb, slide, swing or play in the sand box.

This used to be a community Library, about twenty years ago, when my kids went to the elementary school right next to it. The loss of the library made me sad.
Glad to see that it’s stayed open as a community center — you can reserve the hall or outdoor patio areas for family or larger group affairs.
Well maintained park and grounds.
There are activity programs available for children, but require pre-​registration.

This park is a wonderful place to hold a children’s birthday party. It has three covered picnic areas that all surround the updated playground area which allowed parents to keep an good eye on their children while they played. This park also had a recreation building that had community activities and restroom facilities.
Overall the park was clean, sections were clearly labeled and the experience was fun.

I had my daughter’s birthday party in the community center, and it was really nice! The room is big, it fits about 150 comfortably. There’s a kitchen, sink, stove, oven and refrigerator. There’s a side door that opens up to the sidewalk (by the parking lot) which was convenient for bringing in and out all of the stuff we came with. It was also easier for our guests to find the party. The playground has updated equipment, which is good for older kids (5+) and has a fun wading pool. It was also really nice that we could see the kids from the room we had the party in. It was really cheap to rent also, $ 30/​hr. If I needed to, I would have another party in here because it was really quiet and there wasn’t a lot of people coming in and out. Everyone had a lot of fun and I would recommend this park/​center for any party!

Great staff and the comunity center is well kept. The park itself is ok. The only reason why I come here is for my daughter’s gymnastics, otherwise I would probably give it 3 stars. The gymnastics program is great for the money and my daughter loves it.

I come to Palms Park for one reason only and that is for their Gymnastics program. This is the only park in Lakewood that offers it and the staff is fantastic. The area is not the best, it is off of two major streets and across from a High School so you do not get the best «park» feel from Palms.

This place is a great rental for large party and events.
Plenty of parking, kitchen available, playground for the little ones and basketball courts.
Great location.
