Missoula Parks & Recreation’s Guiding Mission is to enhance the quality of life in our community by:

  •  Promoting Health and Wellness

  •  Stimulating (supporting and encouraging successful) Community & Economic     Development

  •  Protecting the Environment

  •  Educating and Enriching the Citizens of Our Community

 Our Vision Statement:

Missoula Parks and Recreation is essential to the quality and way of life for individuals, families, community and the environment.

The benefits of Parks and Recreation are endless!™

Beyond Fun and Games
Often people are unaware of how vital recreation and leisure are to the quality of their lives. While fun, happiness and play are vital to growth and development, the expanded role of public parks and recreation is more critical than ever. Whether we know it or not, programs, services, events and opportunities offered by local, state and national park and recreation agencies positively impact many areas of our lives and society as a whole.

Everyone Benefits
Everyone in the world has somehow benefited by public park and recreation programs at some time in their lives - directly or indirectly. The time has come to make the connection between past experiences and today's success, yesterday's activities and tomorrow's physical and mental wellness and today's taxpayer support and safe communities for our children and grandchildren. So, whether an avid participant or occasional observer, enjoy the benefits. It's everyone's right!
