Our Projects

Our very first project, the dugouts at Jaycee Fields were accomplished in 2012 almost entirely by membership sweat equity and is considered by most original members as the most meaningful of all our projects.

The folf course at Milwaukee Park was an attempt to reclaim a long ignored park in Miles City. Many local groups assisted in the countless hours required to clean up the park so it could be repurposed as a folf course. Keep Miles City Beautiful, Kiwanis, Pine Hills Youth Correctional work crews, and even Milwaukee Park neighbors worked tirelessly to help us get the park ready and in 2013, the folf course was completed and ready for use. Throughout the years, the folf course has been the catalyst for several collaborations including Kiwanis, Key Club, and the Miles City Public Library Summer Reading Program to engage families and children, whether it be cleanup days, or just folf fun days.

Our last project before coming up with the idea for our black plate, the Pine Hills Park was another project funded by both membership and local business’s generosity and completed almost entirely by membership sweat equity. 

Completed in 2016, the Ryno was our first large-scale project, and was built in Riverside Park to offer the community a stage for music and arts. Through the years it has been the location for free movie nights, showcased local and traveling musical talent, and even had the play Charlotte’s Web performed by our local theater troupe.

Our largest project to date; the splashpad at Wibaux Park was six years in the making and cost over $900,000 to bring to fruition. Although several local businesses and community members donated to this project; the majority of the income for it was provided by the sales from our “original” black license plate.

Brought to our attention during the summer of 2023 when former resident Dale Woolhiser and Nancy Thompson came back to Miles City for a class reunion and noticed the disrepair of the Riverside Park Gazebo and offered $5000 to have it repainted. Further inspection showed the gazebo needing much more than a paint job and $25,000 later; new paint, decking, a metal roof, gutters and downspouts, and landscaping all came together to bring the Riverside Gazebo back to it’s former glory. This project marked an amazing collaboration between several community groups and businesses and it was a reminder to our group the large impact even a small project can have on our community.
