Lakewood Civic

The City of Baytown has a grant program to improve neighborhoods. Last year 3 grant proposals were submitted: Beautification of entrances into Lakewood with flowering plants and trees (Lakewood Garden Club), a Back to School party with school supplies (Lakewood Neighborhood Watch), and a 2nd Lakewood sign with flower bed at Lakewood Drive and Bayway Drive (Lakewood Civic Association). Suggestions for a Dog Park as well as a Park for teens and adults were also sent in but those two suggestions were deemed too expensive by the City. However we were very fortunate and excited to have received grant money for the 2nd Lakewood sign and we now have a beautiful sign thanks to the City with volunteer help from the Sea Scouts, Civic Association and neighbors.

The City is again offering grants and we are willing to turn in grant applications although other groups are welcome to apply for a grant too. Please send us suggestions on what you would like to see to help enhance Lakewood. More info on these grants can be found at: https://www.baytownengage.com/grants

All good things must come to an end and the Lakewood Pool is now closed. It’s been wonderful to see people enjoying themselves in the pool this year; families spending time together instead of on the phone or in front of the TV, making memories that will last a lifetime. This validates all the hard work that has been put in and makes it all worth while. If you want an opportunity to give a little of your time, to join a fun and thankless group of great people, to get a phenomenal feeling of volunteering for the greater good, please think it over and let us know. We thank you for an incredible season. You are the reason we do this. Until next spring…
