Carmody
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Split-levels, tri-levels and ranch plans built from about 1970 into the mid-1990s sit on quarter-acre cul-de-sac lots, on streets carrying the name of the homestead that first worked this ground. Carmody Park at 2200 S. Kipling Street holds a pond ringed by mature cottonwoods and waterfowl, several play fields, an outdoor Fitness Zone and the city's first universal playground, rebuilt in 2017 for all ages and abilities. The adjoining Carmody Recreation Center is a City of Lakewood facility rather than a Foothills Park and Recreation District one, and it carries a 50-meter indoor pool, an outdoor pool and spray pad, gyms and indoor pickleball courts. The 379-acre Bear Creek Greenbelt Park runs west from Wadsworth Boulevard toward Bear Creek Lake Park, and US-285 is about five minutes out by Morrison Road.
