Save the Flying Saucer RV Park
Established around 1949, Flying Saucer began as a mobile home park nestled along Bear Creek in what is now Sheridan/Englewood.Over time, it transitioned into an RV park and storage facility, adapting to the growing RV lifestyle trend.
Its legacy includes being one of four parks in the Denver Metropolitan Area offering year‑round, long‑term RV stays, boasting 162 sites with full hookups.
The Flying Saucer RV Park has served as a safe, stable, and affordable community for low-income seniors for decades. Now, its future is at risk. A developer plans to demolish the park and build market-rate apartments—putting over 100 residents at risk of displacement.
If the City of Sheridan approves rezoning the property, these longtime residents will be evicted from the property by summer 2026.
The Redevelopment Plan assumes no financial responsibility for current residents and offers no alternative affordable living accommodations. With no other place to go, the former Flying Saucer RV Park residents may be forced to find street parking for their RVs, contributing to the homeless epidemic of the Denver Metropolitan area.
We urge the Council of the City of Sheridan Not to Approve Rezoning of the Flying Saucer RV Park.

Why is this important?
Protect Seniors. Preserve Affordable Housing. Push Back on Displacement.
The Flying Saucer RV Park in Sheridan, Colorado has been home to dozens of low-income seniors for decades. Now, it’s under threat. A private developer plans to bulldoze the park to build high-end apartments — but only if the city approves a rezoning request.
That means the City of Sheridan has a choice:
Displace elderly residents who rely on this park as their last affordable option,
OR
Stand up for housing justice and stop the cycle of community erasure.
Displace elderly residents who rely on this park as their last affordable option,
OR
Stand up for housing justice and stop the cycle of community erasure.
Why This Matters:
- Real People, Real Lives: Seniors on fixed incomes, veterans, and longtime residents will be forced out — many with nowhere else to go.
- A Precedent-Setting Fight: Losing this park would open the floodgates for other low-cost communities to be wiped out for profit.
- No Plan for Relocation: There is no safety net. This is not just a move — it's potential homelessness.
- Community Over Corporations: Zoning decisions should reflect the needs of the people — not out-of-state developers.
🗣️ Take Action Now:
Tell the Sheridan City Council: No Rezoning. No Displacement.
