Go to the Park

Bozeman prides itself on providing ample areas for parks and open space. This outdoorsy town has plenty of parks with different amenities for whatever activity you have in mind. Head to Kirk Park for skateboarding, Lindley Park for lounging and picnicking under the huge shady trees or splash in the creek at Bogert Park. There are also a number of neighborhood parks throughout Bozeman, too.

Bozeman Beach

Even though we are surrounded by mountains, there are a couple of “beaches” here in Bozeman too!  At the 100 Acre Gallatin Regional Park, there is a small pond with small sandy beach area. There is also a playground there at the Dino Park as well as walking and biking trails. On the north side of town, near MAP Brewing is the Bozeman Beach. It’s a larger pond with a small dock, volleyball courts, a climbing rock, walking trail and restrooms. This is a great spot for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding.

Bogert Pool

Since it’s chilly most of the year, we don’t have many neighborhood pools in Bozeman. Downtown there is one city pool to cool off in when it does get hot – Bogert Pool.

Belgrade Splash Park

Belgrade is a short 15 minute drive from Bozeman and worth it to cool off in the splash park located at the Lewis and Clark Park. Along with the water park there’s a playground, skate park and open space to lay out and picnic.

Take a Hike

There’s a hiking trail close by no matter where you are in Bozeman! We have in town trails and plenty of hikes up in the surrounding mountains. Sometimes kids do better with a cool destination like a waterfall or lake.

Bozeman Library

The Bozeman Public Library has an amazing children’s area with tons of books and a play area with blocks. Check out their events calendar for kids and adult events.

Jump Time

Out in Four Corners is Jump Time – Bozeman’s only trampoline park. If the weather is bad or the kids just need to get some energy out, visit Jump Time! They have obstacle courses, dodgeball, a ninja warrior course and basketball. It’s fun for kids and adults!

Museum of the Rockies

The Museum of the Rockies is another great option for a rainy day. Check out the latest exhibition, visit the planetarium or the massive dinosaur complex.

Camps

There are camps for every interest: arts, sports, music, theatre and more! The YMCA offers several day camps during the summer. Camp Agape is another option for summer camps.

Volunteer

Summer is a great time to get kids into volunteering and teach them the joy of giving back to your community. The Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter has a cat cuddler program and canine story time for younger kids. Older kids and adults can be trained to work with dogs.  The Gallatin Valley Food Bank also has great volunteer options for kids.

What our clients are saying:

Jody Savage is knowledgeable, trustworthy and tireless. I purchased a property this spring (2017) near Bozeman; Jody represented me as well as the seller in the transaction. Jody led me through the entire process because this was the first property I had ever purchased. HOA complications and other details made the purchase more difficult. Jody undertook a boat-load of legwork to make the transaction go smoothly. I hope to work with Jody again.

J.D.

Jody is FANTASTIC!! We were first time home buyers and she was with us ever step of the way! She never made us feel silly for being new to the process. She definitely knows the area, always kept us up to date on new listings and was just a delight to work with. I would have absolutely zero hesitation recommending her to anyone. Thanks for all the hard-work Jody! We love our house!

K.G.

Jody is amazing. She knows the market and was able to advise us on all our many concerns. We so appreciated how responsive she was; within minutes of submitting an online request for realtor contact on a house, she had called us. All our communications with her were like that; we never had to wait long to hear back from her. She was patient and always willing to sit down and meet with us. When we found the house we wanted, she worked tirelessly to secure it for us, and she was extremely patient with us. She was easy to communicate with, understand, and a pleasure to work with – I highly recommend Jody!

J.T.

My wife and I used Jody Savage for the sale of our home in Gallatin Gateway, MT. Jody was exceptional in all phases of our sale. We had multiple offers over asking price and sold our home in two days! Jody uses up to date modern marketing, was extremely professional and knowledgeable regarding our market and addressing our needs. She was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. Jody is the best in the business and we highly recommend her services!

G.B.

Jody was awesome to work with. We were new to the area and she was helpful and knowledgeable about not only the housing market, but schools, and lenders. She worked with my work schedule for showings. Jody also stayed late to write an offer to meet our schedule. I would recommend Jody to anyone needing a realtor.
