Cheyenne Saloon's Demise Births New Community Center

The popular Cheyenne Frontier Days hangout, the Outlaw Saloon, has been purchased by the Maury and Bonnie Brown Foundation with plans to develop a modern community recreation center. This initiative addresses a significant gap in Cheyenne's amenities, aiming to provide comprehensive indoor recreational facilities that were previously unavailable.

The foundation's acquisition follows the saloon's foreclosure, clearing the way for their vision. The proposed center, named the Maury and Bonnie Brown South Side Community Recreation Center, is envisioned as an "YMCA on steroids," featuring an aquatic center, field house, gymnasium, and an indoor walking track, among other amenities.

This development is expected to boost the city's quality of life and aid in economic development and youth retention efforts. Advocates believe such facilities are crucial for keeping young families and the workforce within Wyoming.
