Hello City of Bozeman,
I have some observations to share regarding my experiences at Glen Lake Park over the lastcouple years. As a Bozeman resident I appreciate access to the park and its amenities, but it
appears there is no policing/enforcement of the laws. Year over year visitor behavior is gettingworse and will continue to deteriorate unless changes are made asap.
- Loud thumping amplified ranchero music disturbing families trying to enjoy the park
- Speeding in/out of the parking areas- Unlawful drinking
- Idling engines of parked vehicles- Cruising - Many quick in/out of vehicles
- Trash
The issues noted above only seem to get worse after 4pm and continue late into the night.Unfortunately with the lack of police presence the park now seems to be a hub for some
nefarious activities.
Please initiate the following:- Hourly patrols after 4pm especially on weekends.
- Enforce the laws and get to know the bad actors disturbing park enjoyment- Keep the park experience pleasant and safe for families
- Change park hours and close at sunset vs 11pm
Thank you,Dan
