1. City Parks Introduction

Miles City ranks far ahead of other communities in the U.S. in the number of acres of park space per 1,000 persons and few subjects are emotionally-charged than how its parks are used.

Our parks are used by city residents, county residents, the schools, visiting sports teams & spectators, travelers and tourists. They are managed year round by the City of Miles City Public Works department and require constant maintenance and consistent funding in order to provide safe and healthy recreation for all.

This survey is designed to measure satisfaction from the Miles City community with the management of our parks, to hear of new ideas for facilities and/or recreational programming, and to provide basic information to parks users like you about current challenges in maintaining your parks system.

As with all of our surveys, we encourage your participation and value your feedback.

9. How do you feel about motor vehicle use in Spotted Eagle Lake Park?

How do you feel about motor vehicle use in Spotted Eagle Lake Park? Vehicles should be kept a safe distance from the lake

It's a park. Keep all unauthorized vehicles out of it.

It's about right the way it is

Cars are okay but the ATVs are a bit much

I think current policy is too restrictive
