The Coughlin Pole Mountain Park project will be located just west of Indian Paintbrush Elementary School - On Nighthawk Drive between 28th Street, Plains Street, Bath Avenue, and Knadler Street. This plot of land is a piece of vacant land within the Coughlin Pole Mountain Development, which was originally owned by the Coughlin family Laramie Plains pioneers. 4 plots of land, totaling over 1 acre (approximately 46,800 square feet), were generously donated to the City of Laramie by Rawstone Development. Some items and attractions that are planned on being built into this park include a 2–5-year-old playground, a 5–12-year-old playground, a half-basketball court, park shelters and benches, barbecue pits, and trees along the borders of the park area. The intention of this park is to provide a space for all ages to come together and promote health and wellness throughout the community. The current status of the project is that the city and engineers are looking at drainage issues and are planning to start constructing in 2024 while incrementally adding portions of the park until final completion, ideally in 2025.
