Stratton, president of the railroad, bought the land in 1900 and donated 20 acres for the park he named Cheyenne Park. He oversaw the construction of bridges, rock walls for Cheyenne Creek, and footpaths along what had been land of hills, wildflowers, and wildlife. It was 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from the end of the Cheyenne Canyon line. Construction was completed for a bandstand and a building of refreshment stands and waiting rooms.
