Horizons Plans Cabins At Lions Park
Here’s a mock-up of plans to install two cabins in Armour’s Lions Park. These are the cabins built by inmates of the prison in Springfield and installed in many state parks and public areas across the state. Our Horizons group is working with the City of Armour and the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks to purchase two cabins that would be placed near the existing bathhouse in Lions Park.
The idea here is to provide additional amenities to the park and also provide low-cost accommodations for visitors and local families who want an inexpensive source of recreation. We’ll be completing fundraising soon to determine whether we can purchase one or two cabins. Volunteer labor will be used to prepare the cabin sites in the park.
This project is a great example of local organizations working together. That’s one of the themes we constantly drew upon during our Study Circles and Leadership Plenty training — working together. We can accomplish a lot more in a small town when we join forces with other groups. Thus the partnership between the Horizons group and the Lions.
If you are interested in making a donation to assist with the purchase of the cabins, please contact Bob Goodnow at 724-2105 or Todd Vogt at 724-2400.

Cool idea! I bet there are other communities that might be interested in this type of building for thier community. Thanks for sharing this resource about partnering with the SD GF&P and other local groups and organizations. Working together can lead to great things!

These cabins would be a great addition to your park. I’ve never actually stayed in one myself at a state park, but I know other people who have and they have said that they’re very nice. Isn’t it great when everyone works together? I hope your fundraising is a huge success so that you’re able to purchase two cabins!

Wonderful Idea! This would be a great addition to our park. There are a lot of campers that visit throughout the year and these cabins we be an addition to the many other things that bring people to our town. I think they would be a big benefit and get used a lot.

It was such a great surprise to read this post & see how these cabins are actually going to look. I think this is a GREAT project! These will be great for daycamp use by groups like the Boyscouts. Plus, these are going to be a lot of fun for local families. Let me know where to make my reservations!!!!
