The City of Kalispell has the opportunity for a new park on its west side that will serve our growing community and provide treasured open space. The Bibler Family Trust has purchased an approximately 20-acre site, ringed by additional public property, on which to construct a new public park and present it as a gift to the city. The Trust is providing the initial phase of the park; no tax dollars are being used for design or construction. We are early in design and public input will be considered as we develop the design further.

Full of character, expansive views, two creeks, wildlife, and a rich history, the property is within walking distance of neighborhoods and schools. This special place is the foundation for Kalispell’s next great park!

The Bibler Family Trust’s intent is to create a park with safety, accessibility, and historic character at the forefront of design. We want to ensure that it meets the needs of the neighborhood and community, and are getting community organizations, officials, and neighbors involved as we begin the planning process. Working with natural features that already exist on the property, we anticipate playgrounds, walking paths, shade trees, shelters, benches, grass fields, and gardens.
