Billings parks are “failing” due to lack of investment from the city, the department’s director, Mike Pigg, revealed in a Wednesday afternoon meeting with the City Council’s Budget and Finance Committee.
More than two decades ago, Don and Betsey Forbes donated nearly 40 acres of land to the City of Billings, under one condition: a park would be developed. Today, that park is still being planned.
With at least 1,879 calls for cops and emergency crews from the Colonial since 2015, the South Side apartments have long been strained public resources on the Billings taxpayer s dime.
