Celebrating our community’s newest park and green space

The Big Sky Community Organization (BSCO) is excited to announce the opening of Len Hill Park in Town Center on Saturday, July 3rd. Thanks to the generosity of The Leonard Hill Charitable Trust, Patricia Gordon, MD, in-kind support from the Simkins family and 15 additional donors, BSCO was able to secure 3.3 acres in heart of Big Sky on behalf of the community in the winter of 2018.

The Len Hill Park, formally known as the Town Center Park, and home to the Arts Council of Big Sky’s Music in the Mountains concert series, has been a treasured open space for all in Big Sky. Improvements to the park began in May 2020 which includes: re-grading the park to help with drainage issues and improve seating with an amphitheater style layout; planters installed on Ousel Falls Drive to help protect park goers from traffic; permanent bike racks; additional trash receptacles; and added gravel in front of the stage to reduce damage to the grass.

“As Big Sky reopens after the pandemic, the Len Hill Park will be a much-utilized open space!” said Whitney Montgomery, BSCO CEO. “It will be fabulous to have the park available for concerts, picnics, and general use. We are grateful to the Leonard Hill Charitable Trust and Dr. Patricia Gordon, the Simkins Family along with many others, for their generosity in bringing this park to our community.”

We look forward to celebrating with the community as we enjoy our newest park and green space on Saturday, July 3rd from 4-5 PM.

Construction on BASE continues to move forward with an anticipated early 2022 opening. BSCO is working hard with our program partners, including the Arts Council of Big Sky, to offer more year- round enrichment opportunities for all, as well as provide passholders the opportunity to access the climbing gym, gymnasium, fitness room, an unsupervised child play area and community rooms.
