Keelboat Park

1605 River Road

Keelboat Park is closing as of November 7, 2025. The park is being redeveloped by the Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation into a new public space called Bismarck River Commons. Learn more on their website.

As part of the redevelopment, these park amenities were relocated this fall:

  • Keelboat replica to Pioneer Park
  • Lewis and Clark and Sakakawea statues to the City of Center
  • Thunderbirds sculpture to United Tribes Technical College

For questions about the redevelopment, please contact Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation as Bismarck Parks and Recreation District is no longer managing the space.
