The sweet fragrance of spring blooms, carried aloft by a warm breeze; the neon glow of fireworks against a pitch black July 4th sky; the crack of ball against bat, followed by the roar of a sellout crowd in FirstEnergy Park; the expectant hush of a Strand Theater audience as the house lights dim and the curtain begins to rise: Lakewood life is brimming with sights, sounds and sensations like these. Take some time to explore the quality of life the township offers. You'll understand why Lakewood residents say, "This is the life!"
