Hailey Rodeo Park
Location: At the site of the existing Rodeo Grounds and Skatepark.
About This Park: Working with its Parks & Lands Board, the Sawtooth Rangers, Hailey Ice and other volunteer groups, the City of Hailey, owner of the Rodeo Grounds and the Hailey Skatepark, has adopted a Master Plan for the entire rodeo grounds property that creates diverse year-round recreational activities for all ages in our community. Fundraising has been underway all year to build this $6 million project, with a fundraising goal set at $3 million. In April, the Hailey City Council called for a General Obligation Bond election to ask voters whether they are willing to pay for $3.5 million of the project. The links below show early renditions of the different facilities planned for the site, and FAQ's about the project, the fundraising, and the bond measure.
