Parks, Trails and Open Space Framework
NWX will provide a well-connected system of parks, trails and open space, both internally and externally to regional destinations including the future north-south regional trail extension, Bozeman Sports Park, nearby schools and residential development. The focal point of the community is Homestead Park which functions as a linear park connecting multiple neighborhood parks.
Parkland dedication shall be implemented throughout NWX for establishment of Homestead Park and additional park and amenity areas throughout individual development parcels. Any deficiency between provided park land and required park land will be provided via additional parkland with each subdivision reviewed or cash-in-lieu. Improvements-in-Lieu are preferred so that improvements will be made within Homestead Park and other NWX Parks to support the Parks and Open Space Framework documented in the Master Site Plan. Improvements-in-Lieu can include items that improve aesthetic, environmental sustainability or diversify user experiences. Examples include: installation of permeable paving systems in linear trail corridors, upgrading to concrete surfacing in high use areas, or adding educational or interpretive signage along a trail corridor. Parkland dedication requirements shall be based on net density as follows:
Net Acreage
Estimated Net DensityBased on an analysis of several existing subdivision plats in Bozeman, net acreage is on average approximately 45% of the total property gross acreage. Therefore, a conservative calculation using of 50% of total gross REMU acreage will be used for the NWX Master Site Plan.

The Homestead Park boundary includes lands which meet the City’s standard requirements for linear and neighborhood parks, and additional areas of wetlands, wetlands buffers and stormwater detention. A breakdown of which lands are used to meet park dedication requirements is included below. The Master Site Plan documents 8.2 acres of qualifying park land. Remaining qualifying park land deficiency will be achieved through further park land dedication or improvements-in-lieu of park land.
Additional parks will be identified and located during subsequent site plan processes to meet total park dedication requirements. Additional parks shall provide a diverse set of amenities to support a high quality of life for neighborhood residents. Developed amenities within parks will be consistent with the PROST Master Plan recommendations for neighborhood, linear and pocket parks. Through on-street and off-street trails, NWX’s park system will be easily accessible to residents and visitors, providing access to Homestead and additional parks within a 5-minute walk (1/4 mile) of all areas in the community.
**Note: Minimum of 2 acres of total parkland will be committed to in the east and west parks unless parkland requirements have already been met otherwise. These parks could potentially include neighborhood, linear or pocket parks to facilitate pedestrian connections within the parks network at Northwest Crossing
Parking and Connectivity On-street parking adjacent to parks will be provided per City requirements, while still encouraging walk-to and bike-to use of the community’s parks.
With NWX’s proximity to the Bozeman Sports Park, NWX’s parks will be focused on spaces that will support passive and active daily recreation, leisure activities and community gathering rather than programmed sports. Park locations and designs should enhance the site’s natural resource values while providing quality nature-based recreation, play and leisure opportunities in addition to traditional park amenities.
See sheet MSP 1.05 for road frontage calculations.
MaintenancePark maintenance responsibility will fall to the Parks Division upon acceptance of parkland dedication (easement or deed) and park staff acceptance of improvements.
PhasingPotenial phasing is noted on the plan. Sequencing of phases dependent on phasing of overall development and subdivision review of individual planning areas. City shall review and approve individual park designs through the subdivision and site plan review process.
