We’re excited to share that the Bear Creek Trailhead Project team attended the Sheridan School District 2 Annual Back-to-School Kick-Off to connect with the community, and it was a huge success! The evening was filled with fun, meaningful conversations, and a strong sense of community. We’re very grateful to everyone who stopped by to learn about the project and share their feedback.

Your participation is extremely valuable at this stage. The ideas and suggestions shared by the community are helping us define the amenities and programming that will best serve our community at the trailhead.

Up next, we’re excited to present three concept designs for community review and input. Your feedback will directly influence the future of the Bear Creek Trailhead Project, don’t miss the opportunity to share your ideas!

Join Groundwork Denver, Sheridan Inspire, and ViVe Wellness for the "Love Water" event series at River Run Park in Sheridan for a celebration of water, wellness, and community! Meet with South Suburban and Livable Cities Studio to share your ideas for trailhead amenities, access, and design. Your feedback will help shape the design of a new, welcoming trailhead at 3600 S Federal Blvd.

These family-friendly events combine education, action, and fun as we give back to the river and explore how to safely enjoy its many gifts. Activities include hands-on learning, food, games, and opportunities to share your voice in the future of the Bear Creek Trailhead.

Building on the successful outreach conducted during the Bear Creek Trail Study, our team is committed to ensuring that community voices continue to shape the trailhead vision. The original study included three phases of engagement, identifying challenges, refining concepts, and validating recommendations and gathered valuable input on desired amenities.

Our team, in partnership with City of Sheridan, Groundwork Denver and Livable Cities Studio, is committed to a collaborative, inclusive process that builds on the successful outreach conducted during the Bear Creek Trail Study.

We have exciting and meaningful community engagement planned to ensure the Bear Creek Trailhead reflects the needs and values of Sheridan residents. Several engagement touchpoints are scheduled between July and December 2025, aligning with key phases of the design process.

Throughout this process, we’ll use a mix of in-person and virtual strategies, including pop-up events, online surveys, and direct mail, to ensure broad and inclusive participation. Our team will also support the creation of outreach materials like flyers, e-blasts, and yard signs to keep the community informed and involved.

Together with Groundwork Denver, we’re committed to a collaborative, transparent process that reflects the diversity and character of City of Sheridan.
