East Gallatin Recreation Area is a recreation area in Bozeman, Montana, United States.[1] It was formerly a landfill site.[2]
The conversion of the city landfill into a recreation area was awarded a national Take Pride in America award.[3]
Today few people realize that the heavily used East Gallatin Recreation Area in Bozeman, Montana was formerly a gravel pit and the city dump.[4]: 5 Early photos show a steep sided water filled pit, surrounded by weeds plus just to the east old refrigerators and car parts poking partly out of the grassless ground. Transforming that scene into today's reality was accomplished by massive amounts of volunteer work and local donations.
One of the earliest visionaries for the park was Glen Hash, whose business owned the gravel pit and some adjacent land. Mr. Hash died in an accident soon after transferring the gravel pit to the state Parks Department and area would probably have been named Glen Lake Park if there were not another Glen Lake already in the state. Hence the area has retained a geographic name referencing the small East Gallatin River forming the east edge of the park.[4]: 5
