"Described on the Lakewood website as “one of the true jewels of the City of Lakewood park system,” Belmar Park has been a popular refuge for residents who go to the 132-acre park to relax and connect with nature. But now they're worried that a proposed luxury apartment complex abutting the park could dull the shine of that jewel.
“I would say 95 percent of the people I talk to when I'm walking around or something, they're passionately against this,” says Barbara Millman, a resident who's part of Save Belmar Park, which formed last fall to fight the development."
"A raft of ducks perched and waddled on the frozen surface of a pond at Belmar Park on a recent fall morning — foreground bustle for a double-crested cormorant rookery located on a small island just offshore.
This 132-acre park in the middle of Lakewood, Colorado’s fifth-largest city, is tagged as a “hotspot” on eBird.com, where birders have recorded sightings of more than 230 bird species — many of them migratory — in the park, including the Northern shoveler, the cedar waxwing and the dark-eyed junco."
