The Trust for Public Land bought a 5-acre piece of land from the Boys and Girls Club of Southwest Montana. The parcel adjoins the to-be-built Story Mill Community Park to the Northeast of town. The Trust for Public Land intends to donate the property to the City of Bozeman for the new park.
Adding new, adjacent public land to the park will make the public area near Bridger Canyon all the better. The park received $75,000 in 2015 as well, helping park officials carry out their goals.
The park already plans to develop 54+ acres, creating a top tier park for Bozeman residents. Park officials have discussed including picnic areas, shelters, climbing rocks, playground equipment, fields, dog parks and an outdoor ampitheatre, potentially creating the most amenity filled park in Bozeman. Park creators want to connect the park into the vast Bozeman Trail system as well as the nearby M hike and Drinking Horse Trails.
The land includes a 11,000 plus square foot building with gymnasium and meeting rooms.
