Once Upon a Park…

When we saw 12 acres of open land for sale right next to a park in the fastest growing part of town, we knew we had to act…fast. GVLT saw potential, secured funding and purchased the land just in the nick of time. 3 acres were sold to HAVEN as a site for a new domestic violence shelter and the remaining 9 were sold to the City of Bozeman as an expansion to the park. After 3 years of fundraising, real estate transactions, planning meetings, design, public input, and construction with partners, GVLT is proud that the newly expanded Bozeman Pond Park got a fairy tale ending. Forever, kids, dogs, neighbors, community members, and HAVEN families will enjoy the open space and natural beauty of Bozeman Pond Park, happily ever after!

Bozeman, enjoy your newest community park, the first project completed with funds from your Trails, Open Space, and Parks Bond!
