Galindo - Please preserve all Regional park spaceFrom:Anna J Galindo To:Bozeman Public Comment Subject:[EXTERNAL]Please preserve all Regional park space Date:Monday, June 16, 2025 9:57:09 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I appreciate all the time and work you do for Bozeman. I hope you can help with this important issue about preserving open space as Bozeman grows at an incredible pace. The proposed rezoning (via sale or land swap) of a portion of Gallatin Regional Park is a terrible idea and a disservice to Bozeman's people. Please do not take any action that would reduce our amount of park-space green-space/ open-space in any way. We have massive housing development and so more people are using our parks. The regional park is an important gathering and relaxing place for all in this area. More and more people are using it every year. Reducing it in any way would causemore pressure on the wildlife & natural systems that it supports. With all our growth, we only have one chance to preserve our open spaces. Cities that made an effort to preserve open space enjoy it forever. We cannot go back and undo the loss once it is done. Imagine if New york had allowedcentral park to be built up and shrunk. We cannot lose any of our designated park area as the density & population increase. Please preserve ALL of the current open space and designated park area at Gallatin regional park for the wellbeing of residents & wildlife alike. Pleasehelp keep Bozeman a place that is enjoybable for living and that encourages healthy outdoor time for kids and adults alike. This is vital and irrepairable if done wrong. Thank you for your dedication and time keeping this town livable and enjoyable, Anna & Peter Galindo 705 Stonegate Dr.
