Lakewood sits west of Denver in Jefferson County, where the suburbs meet the Front Range foothills. Bear Creek Lake Park gives the city a reservoir, trails, and open shoreline, and Green Mountain offers open space hiking with views across the metro area to the plains. The Lakewood Cultural Center hosts performances and exhibits, and the city keeps a network of neighborhood parks and trails that connect homes to open land. Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the famous open air venue, lies nearby in Morrison, and the foothills frame daily life with a western skyline.
