BEAR CREEK GREENBELT PARK REVIEWS

Such a wonderful park. You can stroll right along the banks of the creek or ride your bike along the on the path. We had such a good time watching prairie dogs and birds what a wonderful place.

Great place for a quiet walk in the morning with my dog. Nice cement trails along the river and more trails around the open space. Good gravel parking lot.

Great place for a walk Both paved and unpaved trails , creek, twin lakes And lots of prairie dog.

BELMAR PARK REVIEWS

What a special gem in Colorado. There is some great history in buildings here along with an indoor museum. Those were nice. What really attracted me here is the outdoors. The trails and wildlife. We saw so many types of birds, some fish, and a nutria. I was super excited to see the nutria and sad I didn't have my phone out quick enough to get a picture. The pelicans and cormorants are two of my favorites. So peaceful and serene. Listen to the videos. So peaceful.

Absolutely beautiful spot. A friend took me here for a walk during my visit and I had no idea how picturesque of a location this was. The water is full of turtles and fish, the paths are beautiful. Just a lovely place for an afternoon stroll. Hung out here for a while and loved every minute. Very cool spot.

Very cool park in the belmar area of Lakewood. Lots of trails around the pond, areas to sit, and walk your dog. A few statues can be found and there's an area of the park with historical buildings and objects. It takes about 20 minutes to walk around the pond, good day outside!.
