City plans new all wheels park to boost community activity

In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the development of new recreational amenities in Casper, Wyoming, highlighting a partnership with the Central Wyoming Trails Alliance. The collaboration has secured a grant aimed at planning an all-wheels park, which will feature a new concrete skate park in Mike Cedar. This initiative aims to enhance recreational opportunities for residents, particularly in North Casper, where a beginner to intermediate skate park is already in place.

The proposed all-wheels park is part of a broader strategy to create a vibrant hub of activity in the area, catering to various outdoor enthusiasts. Community members are encouraged to participate in an ongoing survey to provide input on the project, emphasizing the importance of public feedback in shaping local amenities.

During the meeting, officials clarified the spatial considerations for the new skate park, noting that the existing concrete park occupies approximately 14,000 square feet. They explained that the footprint of the proposed Miracle Field, which is intended to be repurposed, is similar in size to the current park, allowing for potential collaboration with the local school district.

Concerns were raised regarding visibility and safety issues related to graffiti in the area, prompting discussions about engaging with local organizations, such as the Boys and Girls Club, to address these challenges. The meeting underscored the city's commitment to enhancing recreational spaces while fostering community involvement in the planning process.
