Cheyenne is filled with small community and neighborhood parks. Lions Park, however, offers more to visitors than simply a grassy area. You can find just about anything a fan of the great outdoors could desire in this city park, including a lake, a beach, boating and fishing opportunities, playgrounds, mini golf, an indoor swimming pool and even the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens.
Connecting the city together is the amazing Greater Cheyenne Greenway. More than just a 32-mile-long sidewalk, this 10-foot-wide reinforced concrete path is a monumental achievement and a key component in Cheyenne’s non-motorized transportation system. Walk, run, jog, bike or even skate through neighborhoods, parks and urban centers on this highly accessible outdoor path system.
Get your grub on when you visit the Annual Chugwater Chili Cook-off. Enter your secret recipe in the competition or just stuff yourself with the best chili in the county. In addition to delicious food, the festival hosts a variety of live music, car shows, door prizes, eating competitions, and an art and quilt show. Jump start your appetite or burn off your huge meal at the Tour de Chili Bicycle Race.
Dine at the restaurant and drink at the bar inside of The Albany, Cheyenne’s popular family-owned nightlife venue. Once a hotel across from the Union Pacific train station, the Albany Building now houses the best place in the city to get a meal and a cold one. Sit down at one of the tables, hang out near the bar or make your way over to the billiards area.
