Always seems to have something going to entertain yourself. Everything from homeless people to surfing and the wooden play area or whatever your in to. Music can even be heard if you time it right. Or a truck with a kitchen sometimes. Farmers try to make money there Ive heard. I have never actually seen them make money, but I have heard about it for sure.

They hold events here, this day a Margarita festival was happening. There is a river rapid where people can surf and kayac, an nice viewing platform on the river bank is fun to watch from. Bath room, and play area for kids, they were sure having fun.

Missoulas popular downtown park that is next to the Clark Fork River. Usually there is lots of activities through the summer, but sadly the virus has limited them. You should still check it out, there is space to be socially safe. A handful of food truck vendors show up through the week and weekend. So opportunities to support a local business and get your favorite food truck grub.

Saturday mornings are the best! I get to sell my herbs at the Clarkfork River Market and buy my favorite veggies and baked goods.

Nice place, especially in the summer. Lots of places to walk along the river with benches to sit and read if that’s your style.Fun to watch people surfing the rapids on the Clark Fork. There are events under the tent when the weather’s warm. Definitely worth a trip to hang out and relax.

Great place to have a party or attend an event. Many people don’t know you can rent this entire place and it makes for a great venue for a wedding, etc. highly recommend attending the next event you come upon while downtown. The river action from cayakers, surfers, etc is also awesome and super unique.

Beautiful spot nestled between downtown ans the river. Bring your lunch and enjoy the grass or a bench in the shade. Then stroll the Riverfront path - it makes a nice loop on both sides of the river.

A lovely greenspace next to the Clark Fork River in the downtown area. This is the place to go to walk along the trail, watch the river surfers catch a wave, enjoy a free concert and visit the farmers market. FYI parking can be a bit tricky. I try to use one of the city garages as its only a short walk to the park.

Always a great fun and entainment alive here in the park. Even if no event is happening its a great place to walk and enjoy mother nature and enjoy the fresh crisp air. Close to resturants, theatres, shopping and on the river wherr u might catch someome river surfing, floating or even fishing. A must see while in town. Was here during the Womens March 2018.

Beautiful park and very well-kept. We were just passing through and stopped to see the fall foliage. It was everywhere and absolutely stunning. This is a great spot to see the beautiful river too. We loved learning about the carousel in the history room. What a genius idea to build it there and loved that it was a community effort!

Review №77

Free parking in the evenings and on weekends. Tons to do and see:Very quick carousel with a fun twist where you grab rings from the mouth of a dragon each time you go around. The person that gets the brass ring wins a prize. There is a huge playground with very modern play equipment and musical instruments incorporated into it. Go check out the wave in the river where kayakers push against the wave so they can launch into the air and do dunk flips

Always great to go to Caras Park. Take the kids or yourself for a ride on the best Carousel in the Western United States. A Carousel for Missoula. And right nextdoor is Dragons Hallow. A great time for the kids. Usually there is some form of live music at most events. Out to lunch on Wednesday, and Dinners in the park on Thursday evenings. As well as a number of other events.
