After many years of use, the time had come to upgrade the playground in the TSA Park.  Over the course of multiple years, the Park Board worked with Lewis & Clark County, the Treasure State Acres HOA, members of the Treasure State Acres community, the City of Helena, and others to make this dream a reality. 


Construction of the new playground was completed in November 2024. The project was funded through a combination of TSA Park Board funds, a wonderful grant received from the Lewis & Clark County and City of Helena Parks Board, and generous donations from the TSA Homeowners Association, numerous individuals in the neighborhood, and the lacrosse league that practices regularly in the park.​


​The new playground includes:


  • A main play structure with 2 slides, multiple platform levels, 2 ladder type climbing features, a monkey bars style feature, a rock climbing wall, and a couple of other small play features.   
  • A three bay swing set with 3 belt seat swings, 2 enclosed tot swings, and a “Zero G” swing chair for those who need extra support but still want to join the fun.  
  • A 4-panel structure with activities for the little ones like "3 In A Row" and a "Twist Ball Run"
  • Two new benches and a picnic table, and
  • The slide from the former playground which remained in place as a kid favorite.
  • Safe and easy to maintain wood chip base material that replaced the old pea gravel.


We welcome everyone to come and enjoy the new playground and to spread the word with friends in the Helena Valley and Lewis & Clark County community.

​Treasure State Acres Park is one of the largest and most used public spaces in the Helena Valley, and a true gem of the neighborhood.


The park's 8 Acres feature primarily grass open space that is perfect for anything from flying a kite and playing tag, to cross country skiing and practicing your fly casting, or running multiple peewee football or lacrosse practices.


The park also includes a playground that was completely upgraded in 2024, and landscaped trees for shade.​


Folks from all over the Helena Valley, Lewis & Clark County, and the state of Montana use and enjoy the park every month of the year.

Playground Upgrades Are Complete!

Treasure State Acres Park started as nothing more than a big dirt lot in the middle of the neighborhood back in the 1980s.  Through the dedication and hard work of many local residents and the TSA Park Board, that lot was transformed into the amenity that it is today.​


​The TSA Park Board remains dedicated to making the park the best public place it can be.  Their duties include organizing the mowing and care of the grass and trees, maintenance of the playground, oversight of park use and events, and more.


​The park board is currently made up of the following individuals:  Larry Thomas, John Wilkins, Culver Varnado, Matt Klara, and Kristi Craven.   To contact the board, feel free to send an inquiry through the contact page on this website.


For those interested in joining this dedicated group, a couple of positions are opening up in the next election cycle.  Feel free to contact us about how to get involved.
