CHEYENNE – The City of Cheyenne will host a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new East Cheyenne Community Open Space at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 1st. The 105-acre open space is located at the southwest corner of East Pershing Blvd. and Whitney Rd. The event will take place in the new parking lot located along East Pershing Blvd., approximately 1,200 feet to the west of the intersection.
For those unable to attend, a live stream will be provided on the City of Cheyenne Facebook page. For video of the East Cheyenne Community Open Space, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl38xz47hNA
The recently completed parking lot allows people to park, walk into the site, and enjoy the natural area. The new open space will be open from sunrise to sunset. Pets must be kept on leash and pet waste picked up and disposed of. Visitors are also asked to pick-up trash and make sure pets do not harass the wildlife or nearby livestock. No fires or overnight camping is allowed. The portion to the south, containing a large pond, will remain closed until July 16th to protect nesting birds.
East Cheyenne Community Open Space was purchased in early 2020 with voter approved 6th Penny funding.
