Park City is a census-designated place (CDP) in Stillwater County, Montana, United States. The population was 870 at the 2000 census.

Located 20 miles from the state's largest city, Billings, Park City has a small town atmosphere. It is not incorporated, therefore does not have a mayor or any other "city" legislative positions. The town serves as a bedroom community for the neighboring cities of Laurel and Billings. Most inhabitants are employed in either of those two towns. It is mainly a farming community, growing mostly sugar beets and corn.

The town has a library, school, fire department, two gas stations/convenience stores, three churches of different denominations as well as two bars. Most of the historical buildings are made of sandstone, due to the large sandstone cliffs to the north of the town.

A post office was opened under the name Young’s Point in 1878. In 1882 a group of settler's arrived and named the area Park City.[2]
