MORSE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD
The Morse Park neighborhood is one ofLakewood's oldest neighborhoods with one of the earliest subdivision plats (recorded in 1887). The neighborhood was built over a relatively large time frame, including significant development during The Depression and Word War II periods. The neighborhood also saw strong growth during the post-war housing boom.
Like many of Lakewood's older neighborhoods, the area has its roots in agriculture. That heritage is still evident today with numerous agricultural ditches that run through the neighborhood and large lots with zoning that allows for the keeping of horses, chickens and goats. The residents of the neighborhood are proud of the uniqueness of the area.
MORSE PARK SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM
The Morse Park Neighborhood joined the Sustainable Neighborhoods Program in June 2017. The Sustainable Neighborhoods Program and Sustainable Neighborhood Network were developed by the City of Lakewood, Colorado as a neighborhood-level implementation program for community sustainability.
