The Lakewood City Council celebrated the opening of the new tot lot playground at Bloomfield Park for children ages 2-5 years. The new tot lot features swings, slides, interactive play panels, jumping pods and spring riders. All are designed to be fun and promote communication and social interaction and engage the senses. Parents will enjoy their time at the playground too, with a nice seating area.

A new picnic shelter and barbeques are expected to open by mid-June 2013, along with improved landscaping and irrigation. Bloomfield Park is a 15-acre site located at 21420 Pioneer Boulevard, near 215th Street.
