Sacajawea Park

Recreational Facilities

Looking for a place to shoot some hoops or play ball? Sacajawea Park features several ballfields for softball and baseball games, plus a basketball court for when you want to practice your skills. Just a heads up - the basketball courts sit close to the playground but are only partially fenced, so your jump shot might occasionally roll away.

If you've got little ones in tow, there's a playground area where they can burn off some energy. With slides and swings, it's ideal for smaller children, however it's worth noting the playground isn't huge compared to the overall park size. Still, it's enough to keep the kiddos entertained while you catch a breather on a nearby bench.

Park Features

Packing a lunch? The park offers picnic sites with tables where you can enjoy a meal surrounded by nature. Sacajawea Park's layout features generous open green spaces and is dotted with beautiful trees that provide welcome shade during Montana's warmer months.

The spacious grassy areas are well-suited for walking your four-legged friend, playing a game of fetch, or simply letting the kids run wild. Many people appreciate the clean, quiet atmosphere - it's a little oasis of calm in the midst of Billings.

Nature calls? No worries. The park includes restroom facilities that are generally well-maintained. There's also plenty of parking available, so you won't have to circle around looking for a spot before enjoying your outdoor time.

Historical Significance

The park is named after Sacajawea, the remarkable Shoshone woman who was instrumental in the Lewis and Clark expedition. Beyond just a name, this 10-acre public space functions as both a community gathering spot and recreational hub for Billings residents.

You can visit this local treasure daily from 5AM to 10PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy everything from early morning jogs to evening picnics under the Montana sky.
