Many residents in the Saddle Mountain subdivisions of Montana City may not realize there is a county park in their neighborhood. Amy Teegarden is trying to change that.
Teegarden has been leading a series of introductory meetings during July and August, providing local residents a history of the park and asking for their support in working with Jefferson County to keep it maintained.
The park, located at the intersection of Ruby Mountain Road and Grassy Mountain Road, was established in 1978 as the first subdivision was constructed. “Under Montana state law,” Teegarden explains, “the contractors who build sub-divisions of certain sizes must set aside a certain portion of the area for parks.”
