Beartracks Underbridge Playground
In collaboration with Missoula Parks & Recreation, the Missoula Downtown Foundation (MDF) has been working to transform a dark and dreary parking lot adjacent to Caras Park into a vibrant and engaging play space for all ages.
Phase One
The Foundation completed phase one in 2023, which included painting two bays, funding and installing colorful picnic tables, a basketball hoop, three concrete ping pong tables, and two sets of concrete cornhole boards.
Dick Anderson Construction (DAC) has been an incredibly generous partner in helping the MDF get the equipment installed, and local artist Ann Karp of Sideways Gaze Art & Sign has created bright, and beautiful artwork for the playground!
Phase Two
The second phase consisted of finishing painting the asphalt bays, painting the pillars, and introducing lively lighting features.
Phase Three
The third phase will include enhanced lighting in addition to climbing and skating features. See the original plan below and support our efforts to develop this space.
