Hang Out With Bison And Elk Outside Of Wyoming’s Quiet Kendrick Park

Tucked into the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains, Sheridan, Wyoming is a quaint old west town, and nothing demonstrates its commitment to showing off its pioneer heritage more than the park that sits right in the heart of town.

Kendrick Park is a small green space just a short distance from the busy downtown district of Sheridan, and locals love its playground, waterpark, and its resident elk and bison.

Wait - elk and bison?! That's right! This park in town features a herd of both! They're enclosed, for their safety and for yours, but these guys are so much fun to watch from the other side of the fence.

They're clearly more domesticated than those you would see out in the wild, so visiting with them is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to truly hang out with some of Wyoming's most iconic animals.

Catch the bison lounging in the sunshine or listen to the elk bugel loud enough to hear from miles away and you'll feel like you're far from city life.

Come hang out in Kendrick Park, a gem in Sheridan that's sure to become one of your favorite places to breathe in the fresh air and reconnect with Wyoming's wild west past.

Have you ever spent the day at Kenrick Park, hanging out with bison and elk? This spot is popular in the summer thanks to their enormous pool, so come on over to cool off from the sunshine and hang out with the animals while you dry off!
