Engage with City of Missoula staff in your neighborhood! The City of Missoula and Parks and Recreation invite residents to the third annual City Chats in the Parks. City Chats in the Parks is an innovative community engagement series that takes place in various parks across Missoula.  

The first City Chats in the Parks of 2025 takes place at Westside Park on Tuesday, May 13, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
