Comment on the draft PROST 2040 Master Plan

The City of Missoula’s Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails (PROST) 2040 Master Plan was adopted by City Council on June 23, 2025. The plan is an overarching, 15-year roadmap that will guide Parks and Recreation in meeting community priorities. It represents Missoula's collective vision for parklands, trails, open space, trees, and recreation facilities and programs, and it aligns with our community's shared goals of attainable housing, a healthy environment, and healthy people.

The plan was developed through an extensive two-year public engagement process and in coordination with the City’s Our Missoula 2045 Land Use Plan. Thank you to all who helped create this plan, and we encourage you to visit the project's web page where you will find the final plan, an executive summary, a StoryMap, and various maps: https://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/3449/PROST-Master-Plan. 

Share Your Feedback: Public Comment and Engagement Opportunities

We're offering three ways to provide input on the draft Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails (PROST) 2040 Master Plan. 

  Important note about the Future PROST System map on page 6.5: The map is for illustrative purposes only and shows general areas where new parklands could address gaps in service identified by the PROST. The specific locations and sizes of the parks are not detailed. The City obtains parklands through different methods, including direct purchases, easements, donations, and occasionally through larger subdivisions.
