REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Carolyn Poissant – Manager of Trails, Open Space, and Parks
Design and Development
Mitch Overton – Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Adoption of the Bozeman Sports Park Master Plan
MEETING DATE: July 11, 2016
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Bozeman Sports Park Master Plan as presented by staff
MOTION: In consideration of all public input, staff presentation, and information received to date, I hereby move to approve adoption of Bozeman Sports Park Master Plan as per
the Bozeman Municipal Code Section 26.02.220.
BACKGROUND: Resolution No. 4521 was unanimously approved by the Commission April
14, 2014 for the allocation of Trails, Open Space and Parks (TOP) bond funding in an amount not to exceed $7,500,000, “for the acquisition of park land and development of the Bozeman
Sports Park Project (“Park Project”), which requires the assistance of a professional design and
engineering team. The resolution allocated up to (i) $2,100,000 for the acquisition of
approximately 80 acres of park land; (ii) up to $1,788,000 for infrastructure improvements as
stated in the Commission motion adopted April 7, 2014; and (iii) the remainder of the $7,500,000 for park development and construction through a yet to be completed park master
plan.” The land purchase was completed in 2014 for $2,022,413 leaving $3,689,587 for design
and construction of park improvements, reserving the $1,788,000 for infrastructure.
The master plan was developed through an interactive design process with a public input
committee comprised of key stakeholders (Bozeman Sports Park Foundation, Gallatin Valley Land Trust, Run Dog Run, City departments, and representatives from the Recreation and Parks
Advisory Board, and the Bozeman School District). The Consultant team led the process by
developing three alternatives, which were refined into the preferred Preliminary Concept Plan
(Attachment A). The Master Plan was recommended for approval by the Recreation and Parks
Advisory Board on February 11, 2016. A complete review by the Development Review Committee was completed and the Bozeman Sports Park Master Plan was recommended for
approval on April 27, 2016. The process for hiring a General Contractor Construction Manager
was then followed, bringing on a firm to work with the design team and address issues associated
with phasing and construction feasibility. The overall layout of the master plan features has been
finalized with future phases to be determined by funding availability.

The Master Plan components include:
• 14 multi-purpose sports fields
• Central park plaza area featuring restrooms, vending, storage playground, picnic shelter(s), open play areas, and splash pad

• Dispersed play items and picnic sites
• Wayfinding station and small restrooms at north and south park entries
• Interconnecting trails and access points

• Irrigation storage pond
• Parking for up to 700 vehicles (including overflow areas)
• Perimeter sidewalks and street trees
• Relocated Farmer’s Canal irrigation pipe and overflow

Phase I construction will include a minimum of 4 fields, parking, stormwater detention, a
wayfinding station (informational kiosk) and restroom building (Land and Water Conservation
Fund grant), basic vending facility (pending donation), landscaping and irrigation. Additional
fields (possibly 2 – 4) are expected to be funded through donations to the Bozeman Sports Park Foundation.
