City seeking ideas for riverside park on Yampa Street
Steamboat Springs — The city of Steamboat Springs is inviting community members to come and share their ideas for the newly-acquired Workman park on Yampa Street.
City staff will host an open house at the property at 603 Yampa St. at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
A local artist is planning to remove the old home that currently occupies the parcel this summer. After that, the property will be converted into a riverside park.
From a food cart hub to an interactive art exhibit, community members have already started to share a variety of ideas about what the new pocket park could feature.
The park is on a .14-acre parcel with 125 feet of riverfront.
The city purchased the property for $617,000 with lodging tax dollars that voters approved spending on Yampa Street improvements.
