Peets Hill/Burke Park, Public park in Bozeman, Montana, US.
Peets Hill/Burke Park is a public park on an elevated ridge in Bozeman, Montana, at about 1,480 metres above sea level, roughly one kilometre from the city centre. A network of gravel paths crosses the grounds, which cover approximately 41 acres, and open views of the surrounding mountains and downtown Bozeman appear from points along the ridge.
The land was originally platted in 1892 as part of the Electric Heights Addition with plans for 612 homes, but was never developed as a residential area. Instead, Gallatin Valley Land Trust efforts converted it into parkland and secured it for public use.
The park honors Chris Boyd, founder of the Gallatin Valley Land Trust, through a memorial trail and bridge that recognize his work in protecting the land. Visitors encounter these tributes as they walk the various paths throughout the site.
