FALL & WINTER 2016-17
A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR… AREN’T WE FORTUNATE? We may be some of the most fortunate people on the planet. We live in a beautiful community many people only get to visit while on vacation. A community that has a strong economy and one known for friendly locals. A community of entrepreneurs, givers and volunteers. A community with a strong local government, engaged citizenry, award winning hospital and nationally recognized primary and secondary education systems. Your Parks and Recreation Department has much to live up to in a community such as Bozeman. It is our goal to offer the highest quality recreation programs, beautiful and functional parks, a forward looking and connected trail system, unique and functional rental facilities, the safest and best aquatics experience possible, a diverse and valuable urban forest and a cemetery that preserves history and the dignity of our loved ones. It is our sincere hope that this department adds significantly to your quality of life and is one more reason for us all to feel so fortunate to call Bozeman home. We are here to serve and as always, welcome your comments and suggestions. I’ll see you out there,
