Established around 1949 at 2500 W Hampden Ave in Sheridan, Colorado, 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 ONLY FOUR REMAINING RV 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.
Although the current ownership retains the legal right to sell the property, our movement is focused on preserving it as an RV Park (for which there are several interested parties) rather than transforming it into an apartment complex.
The Garret Companies, based in Greenwood, Indiana has agreed to a property purchase contract with the Flying Saucer RV Park's ownership and proposed a 7-building multi-family apartment complex with an estimated 362 new tenants. They submitted a Rezoning Application to the City of Sheridan during the last week of June, 2025. There will be a City of Sheridan Planning Commission Meeting in October, 2025 with recommendations sent to the City Council for vote in November, 2025. Should the City Council vote in favor of approving the Rezoning Application, Flying Saucer RV Park tenants will be given a minimum 60 days eviction notice prior to bulldozers moving in for Spring/Early Summer 2026 construction. Construction would involve removing all park-like elements and mature trees of the current property.
