This new facility will provide better access for all to the resources, facilities, and activities that keep us healthy, curious, and connected.

Help us shape what the space looks like by sharing your input on what matters most to you. Over the next 4 months (January-April 2023), the City will be consulting and involving Bozeman residents and community groups to prioritize needs and values for this new community center. Based on your input, the City of Bozeman, ThinkOne, and Anderson Mason Dale Architects will develop concept designs and an overall budget estimate for the project. Bozeman voters will then decide on whether to support funding for the project in the November 2023 local elections.

This page will be updated throughout the project. Register and subscribe for updates to follow the project.

We look forward to hearing from you!

    We presented at this week's City Commission meeting! You can check out a recording of the discussion on our website or find a writeup in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.

    City Parks and Recreation Director Mitch Overton and Library Director Susan Gregory said during this week’s meeting that as the city’s population has grown, so has demand for their services.

    A west Bozeman branch will make recreation and library services more accessible to more city residents, the two said. Both mentioned that residents and staff members alike have identified the need for more services on the west side for years.

    “Recreation centers are really about access, exposure and opportunity for health and wellness and recreational opportunities for everyone,” Overton said. “This is not a fitness club, this is about ease of access and low intimidation.”

    Henderson said the city will solicit public input over the next few months, then come back to the commission with a better estimate of the design and price for the facility over the summer.

    City Commission provided staff with feedback to ensure that people across the community have an opportunity to weigh in on what they'd like to see in this new community center. Online, in-person, and intentional outreach was highlighted as a top priority as plans take shape.
