The City of Sheridan will seek grant funds to help renovate one of the City’s oldest parks. The City Council and Mayor Rich Bridger approved a resolution at Monday night’s business meeting authorizing the submission of a Wyoming Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant in the amount of $450,000 to help fund the renovation of Sheltered Acres Park, which is located at the south end of Emerson Street. The park was donated to the City of Sheridan in 1956.  In 1977, the City developed plans for the park, which included water lines, an irrigation system, picnic facilities, and playground equipment.

City Parks Director Steve Gage says the park is in need of some much needed improvements.

In the 2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Sheltered Acres Park had the second-lowest asset rating of all City parks. The City is required to have a 100% match to the grant, which will be funded with Optional One Cent and Public Benefit.  Receiving the grant funds may take up to two years, at which time the match will be budgeted.
