Lakewood Public Parks Google Map

So, this is something I have been fiddling with (actually I set it up and then stopped fiddling) and am curious how useful these open source mappings could be for communities.


I had started this after chatting with Lakewood City Planner, Dru Siley, who has some very positive and vigorous attitudes about Lakewood in general. The disconnects the community may have (in our current insular society - physically, we are rather open on the interweb) most likely means that our limited exploration of our neighborhoods result in not knowing about all the amenities offered. The Lakewood Park System is a perfect example of a fantastic set of urban greenspaces that fulfill a wide variety of roles, from team sports, to child play areas to simple respite.

I am hoping to add photos and more information so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to comment. I am also trying to figure out how this can show up more readily if someone Googles "Lakewood Park System Map".
