Lakewood LEAPS: Playground Project

100% complete

$100,000 Goal

Lakewood LEAPS is a community-driven capital campaign reimagining Lakewood Elementary's playground and sports field as an inclusive, inspiring space where every child can play, connect, and belong.

Lakewood’s playground and field are more than school spaces — they’re places where children play, friendships grow, and families come together. But the current playground no longer meets the needs of the community they serve. LEAPS is creating a safer, more accessible, and engaging environment designed to serve Lakewood children and the greater community for years to come.

Mission

Give every child at Lakewood Elementary—and every family in our community—a safe, inclusive, and inspiring place to play.
