Meetings
The Missoula County Park Board meets on the second Thursday of each month at 1:30 PM in room 201 of the County Courthouse Annex, 200 W Broadway, unless otherwise posted.
Matching Grants Information
The Missoula County Park Board frequently forms partnerships with local organizations and homeowner associations to improve County parks and other recreation areas. In these partnerships, the Park Board provides planning assistance and some funding; in turn, the local group matches those funds and agrees to continually maintain the park.
