From there, Belmar spans 22 square city blocks, with restaurants, art galleries, coffee shops, a movie theater, a bowling alley and clothing and specialty stores. Near Belmar is the Lakewood Cultural Center that features a 320-seat theater and rotating visual art exhibits in multiple gallery spaces. Create, connect and celebrate at 40 West Arts, a creative district along West Colfax.

​

The surrounding city of Lakewood offers excellent access to the outdoors, including Bear Creek Lake Park and championship golf courses like Fox Hollow Golf Course  and Homestead Golf Course . The Lakewood Heritage Center is the home to indoor and outdoor exhibits, exploring the city's history, culture and natural wonders.
