A free pancake breakfast will be offered by the Cheyenne Kiwanis Club after the inclusive playground ribbon is cut by Cheyenne Mayor Marian Orr.
The grand opening is in conjunction with the Cheyenne Greenway Foundation’s Spring Into Green. This 8th Annual Event includes a 5K run and 2K fun walk. The Spring Into Green event starts at 8:30 a.m. at Cahill Park. You can register online or at the race location.

Funding for the $1.3 million Friendship Playground came from a joint public/private partnership. Construction started in the fall of 2016 and was completed a short while ago.
