Foreman's Park, built on the remediated ground of the historic Mountain Con mine yard, features sweeping views of Butte's Summit Valley, the East Ridge, the Highlands Range, and the surrounding Anaconda-Pintler, Pioneer, and Flint Ranges. It also extends by two miles the paved Copperway and Butte, Anaconda & Pacific trails that snake through Uptown Butte and the West Side from Montana Tech, connec
ting via Foreman Park to the Granite Mountain Memorial further north. The Mountain Con is an easily identifiable landmark - it is the mine headframe that bears the slogan 'Mile High, Mile Deep' at its base, referring to Butte's elevation above sea level and the depth of the Mountain Con mine itself. Park amenities include a gazebo, restrooms, picnic tables and benches, interpretive signs, barbecue grills and more. Historical features in the project area were preserved and interpreted through signage. You can reserve the park's gazebo for your next event by contacting the Recreation & Events Coordinator at the phone number below. The walking trails and park can be accessed via parking lots at these locations
• On Wyoming Street, a block north of Woolman Street.
• On Little Minah Street — turn right off of Main Street if you’re northbound.
• On Center Street — turn right off of Main Street if you’re northbound. The site was named Foreman’s Park because it is centered around the former mine foreman’s house, which was located inside the Mountain Con mine yard.
