On Thursday, the 4 Ranges Community Recreation Foundation announced it had successfully raised nearly $23 million for the much-anticipated wellness center project in Livingston, Montana.

Thanks to a surge of support from community members, local businesses, and generous contributors, the Foundation has reached its initial goal and held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new 43,500-square-foot facility at Katie Bonnell Park in Livingston.

The facility’s construction is estimated to span approximately 24 months, with an anticipated grand opening in late 2026 or early 2027. While the Foundation has met the core fundraising goal to fund the facility’s construction, additional funding is needed to fully outfit the center and surrounding park with essential equipment and landscaping. This remaining amount will be raised over the next two years during the construction cycle. The Foundation also continues its efforts to secure an endowment for future operating and capital needs.
