Amanda White Homestead Park is also the Blue Creek Boat and Fishing Access. The park is a joint venture between YRPA and MT Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Pedal United also operates the on-site Blue Creek Bike Park, a great pump track for both kids and adults. The park opened in 2019.
Coulson Park is between I-90 and the Yellowstone River just upstream of the Dick Johnson Bridge that connects Billings and Lockwood. It’s an undeveloped park of over 60 acres and is traversed by a paved pedestrian path. Coulson Park provides river access for kayakers, canoers and rafters.
Mystic Island Park is accessed from Belknap Avenue and is a water quality easement area upstream of the water treatment plant for Billings. It contains both a grassy field and a large area of Cottonwood river bottoms and gravel bars. It also contains the beginning (at least for now) of a miles-long paved pedestrian path that continues through Coulson and Two Moon parks and all the way to Mary Street in Billings’ Heights.
Big Sky Island is undeveloped park land accessible form the Yellowstone River. Mystic Island Park and Josephine Park also provide public access to Big Sky Island.
