Great Falls Mayor Declares Proclamation for June 17th

I don't know about you, but I love a good party. As a matter of fact, I'm up for celebrating anything that's good for the community.

Recently, Great Falls Mayor, Cory Reeves made a declaration for the day of June 17th and for good reason.

Wadsworth Pond Day in Great Falls

In a press release sent to us by email, we learned Mayor Reeves has declared June 17, 2026 "Wadsworth Pond Day."

According to the release, Wadsworth Pond Community Coalition have been working on improvements that include a "new two-vault toilet, two picnic pavilions, a second fishing dock, pond bank improvements, dog waste stations, garbage cans, and picnic tables."

There's even a disc golf course set up around the pond added by Electric City Disc Golf. The picnic tables were made possible by donations from Howard and Shawna Strause, and the Coalition is made up of Great Falls Parks & Rec, FWP, Sun River Watershed Group, Walleyes Unlimited, Missouri River Flyfishers, Electric City Disc Golf, "and many others."

"We are incredibly grateful to the Strauses and to the Sun River Watershed Group and all the community partners whose generosity, leadership, and dedication have made these improvements possible," Kevin Vining, Great Falls Parks & Recreation, Park Supervisor said in the press release.

"The new amenities and ongoing enhancements are creating an even better destination for the public just minutes away from town."
