Conceptual Master Plan

Missoula County and the City of Missoula are pleased to announce that the conceptual master plan for Marshall Mountain Park is now available for public review on engagemissoula.com. A survey was open from May 19 through June 19 to accept public comment on this plan. This plan reflects years of community engagement, feedback, and listening sessions.

The Marshall Mountain Conceptual Master Plan is a visionary document that explores the potential development of the park and is based on feedback from the public. The Conceptual Master plan will help guide the future development of the park, but remains flexible to allow for phased implementation based on funding opportunities and partnerships.

The conceptual master plan outlines both long-term development opportunities and immediate improvements needed for safety and public access, including trailhead enhancements, a vault toilet, parking improvements, and ADA access. Future development will depend on securing outside funding and partnerships.

The plan is flexible to accommodate phased implementation based on available funding. It will inform decisions about the park alongside grant requirements, regulations, infrastructure needs, program development, partnerships, and funding availability. In addition, the plan showcases our community's dedication to protecting public access and preserving natural resources at Marshall Mountain. If acquired, the City and County will make immediate improvements to open the park for public use, and we will explore additional enhancements through fundraising, partnerships, and grants.
