Columbia Gardens, Amusement park in Butte, Montana, US
Columbia Gardens featured a baseball stadium, extensive rides, and entertainment facilities at the base of mountains southeast of Butte.
William A. Clark established Columbia Gardens in 1899 as a recreational destination, possibly to gain support from local voters and labor unions.
The park served as a significant gathering place for labor movement events, including Frank Little's notable 1917 speech to 6,000 attendees.
The Continental Pit mining operation now occupies the former location of Columbia Gardens, which operated until the late twentieth century.
Unlike other exclusive venues such as the Silver Bow Club, Columbia Gardens provided recreational access to all social classes in the mining community.
