Additional Information
History
Story Mill Community Park opened on July 20, 2019. The new flagship city park was developed
through a partnership between The Trust for Public Land and the City of Bozeman. In February
2014, the Bozeman City Commission unanimously approved the Story Mill Community Park
proposal, dedicating $4.5 million from the voter-approved 2012 Trails, Open Space and Parks
Bond. The Trust for Public Land entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of
Bozeman to manage the parkland acquisition, restoration, design and construction, contributing
almost $12 million in private philanthropic support.
The Story Mill Community Park will serve the entire community including the future residents of
the Bridger View Redevelopment neighborhood which is directly adjacent to the park. The idea
to re-establish a residential neighborhood on this property was conceived as a separate but
parallel component of The Trust for Public Land’s work to create the Story Mill Community Park.
The Trust for Public Land retained the 8-acre parcel, once the site of the Bridger View Trailer
Court, and worked with community partners to develop a conceptual plan for the Bridger View

Redevelopment neighborhood – honoring the housing history and complementing the new park.
In June 2019, Trust for Public Land transferred the Bridger View site to HRDC who has
assumed the role of project developer. This project is a perfect candidate for the City’s
“Improvements in lieu of dedicated parkland” program.
Improvements In Lieu of Dedicated Parkland
One improvement that falls within the approved Story Mill Community Park Master Plan but was
not part of the initial construction phase and budget is the parking lot in the southeast portion of
the park. This trailhead parking lot was included in the City-approved Master Site Plan for Story
Mill Community Park (but was contingent upon availability of construction funding). This parking
lot provides important access to a fishing area, dog park and pathways connecting the park to
the Story Mill Spur Trail.
The Trust for Public Land and HRDC have been working with the Parks Department and the
Recreation and Parks Advisory Board to use the “improvements in lieu of parkland” program to
develop this parking lot. Review was requested before the Recreation and Parks Advisory
Board Subdivision Subcommittee as part of the Subdivision Pre-Application to be able to start
the construction and credit the amount of the proposed improvement to the Bridger View
Redevelopment project. On May 7, 2019, the RPAB met to discuss the proposal and
unanimously supported the concepts presented. See email from Addi Jadin, Parks Planner and
Development Manager.
The following Parkland Tracking Table summarizes the parkland calculations and is included on
the preliminary plat, as required. Additionally, the cost estimate and a map are included for
reference. Final paperwork will be provided with the Final Plat as required.
