Parks
The City of Billings Parks, Recreation and Public Lands Department administers over 2,300 acres of dedicated park land for recreation, conservation, and special uses. The park system is composed of 52% multi functional parks, 20% natural resource parks, 11% multiple use recreational parks, 7% undeveloped parks, 6% sports complexes, 2% special use lands, 2% green space, and 1% special use facilities. You'll find plenty of space for energetic recreation as well as quiet corners for meditation in the shade of the many mature trees which grace the city. The parks feature a variety of facilities from picnic areas to multiple sports fields and supervised recreation.

Pioneer Park is the city's most frequented park. It was developed in the 1930s (the WPA era) and features 34 acres of wooded, hilly green space with a winding creek, tennis courts, a wading pool and other amenities. Once a year the enormously popular "Symphony in the Park" is held in these surroundings.

North Park and South Park date back to the turn of the century and are part of the original town plat. Each park has 17 acres of beautiful landscaping and mature trees. Both areas are picnicking favorites.

Riverfront Park is one of Billings’ most interesting parks. Located along the banks of the Yellowstone River, the park measures 440 acres, twelve of which are developed. The rest of the area has been left in its lovely natural state. Twenty-acre Lake Josephine offers good fishing for crappie, large mouth bass and channel catfish. Food and drink are available at the park's concession stand.

Amend Park features primarily soccer and other community events. It is frequently used by kite enthusiasts.

Over 40 other neighborhood parks are located around the city, offering anything from swimming pools to picnic areas, baseball and soccer fields to skating rinks.
