~ The Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department (PRCS) has announced that they will be moving forward with a master plan process for Stratton Neighborhood Park. This park, located in southwest Colorado Springs, has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s when it was first purchased by Winfield Scott Stratton (W.S. Stratton).
According to PRCS, the first neighborhood meeting will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Starsmore Visitor and Nature Center. The purpose of this meeting is to inform local residents about the park's history and engage in dialogue to understand their values and desires for its future.
The City of Colorado Springs purchased the park in 2021 and is dedicated to creating a space that not only preserves its historical significance but also serves the needs of the neighborhood. The community's input will play a crucial role in shaping the park's future, ensuring that it reflects their values and desires.

Originally named "Cheyenne Park" and more commonly known as "Stratton's Park," this 20-acre space was officially dedicated on June 12, 1902. It featured a pavilion, bandstand, and eight rustic bridges spanning Cheyenne Creek. However, over time, there have been many changes made to the park, including selling portions of it to developers.
In the late 1960s, PEO International purchased the property with a commitment to maintain its natural beauty while also using it as a residential home for PEO Chapter members. The park remained under their ownership until PRCS acquired it in 2021.
