Home to Berkeley Pit
The neighborhood is home to two parks. McGruff Park has a skate park and some green space. Koprivica Park has a playground and field space for running around with kids or dogs. Along with colorful gardens, Old Lexington Gardens is a historical site containing many of Butte’s firsts, including the first high school as well as the first stamp mill and smelter. The Blacktail Creek trail, with over 4 miles of trails, is the closest for residents. Berkeley Pit is a local landmark, a massive man-made depression created from 30 years of open pit mining. It’s now a local destination, with a viewing stand for exploring the geology and history of this former mine. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund remediation efforts have been underway for decades, and it is now being considered as a repository for contaminated materials from other Superfund sites in the Silver Bow Creek Corridor. Kelly noted that the pit is now full of water and contains 21 minerals.

Several Butte buses and less than two miles from Uptown
Residents are less than 2 miles from Uptown, which they can reach using Arizona Avenue or Park Street. Butte Buses are a free public transportation option with several stops throughout the neighborhood. Nearby Interstates 90 and 15 are 3 miles south, offering connections to Bozeman and Helena. Bert Mooney Airport has daily flights to Salt Lake City.Multiple restaurants on Arizona Avenue
Most restaurants in the area are located along Arizona Avenue or near Uptown. Mountain View Coffee Company and Copper City Coffee are known for their friendly baristas and smooth espresso beverages. Sparky’s Garage Bar and Grill's interiors resemble an old-timey gas station with antique pumps, Coca-Cola machines, and a pickup truck that doubles as seating. Their menu features barbecue brisket pulled pork and burgers. Other restaurants can be found in the Uptown area. “Some of the oldest restaurants are there,” Kelly says, noting that the popular, locally owned Pekin Noodle Parlor is the oldest Chinese restaurant in the country. For groceries, there’s Safeway on Front Street. Front Street Market and Catering is a small business that sells international and local foods including spices and wines.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
