There is still plenty of good weather coming this season for you and your family to see Prickly Pear Park “up close and personal”!
Enjoy a stroll around Prickly Pear Creek, marvel at the Elkhorn Mountains, or watch for migrating birds in the wetlands. The slag pile south of the park is the last sign that this valley was an industrial site for over a century. Today, the wetlands, creek, and aspen grove provide abundant wildlife habitat. Beavers, sandhill cranes, moose, and deer are frequent visitors.

Cannot speak for anyone else, but as for me, I am sick to death of all the advertising that infects Facebook. That would explain why I only come here occasionally in the recent past. If I wanted advertisements I would turn on the TV. As you can see, my pup has had enough too.

EAST HELENA CRIME WATCH
FROM POLICE CHIEF MICHAEL SANDERS
Question #1.) With our rapid population growth, are there significant increases in the amount of “crime” reports such as burglaries, drugs, car-jackings, etc.?
Answer #1 ). We have seen an increase in the number of Calls for Service in East Helena, which includes an increase in calls involving crimes. The increase mostly involves misdemeanor calls, not felony crimes such as burglaries, drugs, car-jackings. We are routinely involved in calls which include drugs but will not say there is an increase over the past few years. In comparing our Calls for Service totals in 2023 to 2024, the East Helena Police Department experienced an over 70% increase in call from 2023 to 2024. In July 2025, we had 578 Calls for Service, which is an all-time high for the East Helena Police Department.

Question #2) The homeless population in Helena is more problematic than ever. What about East Helena? How are we doing?
Answer #2.) Over the past two years, we have only been involved in a handful of calls involving homeless people. East Helena is doing very well, as we do not see many homeless people in East Helena. I believe the major reason for this is the lack of resources East Helena has for the homeless people. We do not have shelters or food distribution locations in East Helena for the homeless people.
