"Missoula's Peace Park is growing"

Peace parkThe JRPC has 4.4 acres on Waterworks Hill that we are developing into a park dedicated to peace and  including some sign of peace that can be seen from the city.  Recently, the Montana Conservation Corp and 23 volunteers helped us cut 950 ft of trails to make the park more accessible.  And Fr. Jim Hogan donated a bench that has been placed in the park.  Many thanks to all!  To donate toward further development, get more information about the land or submit an idea contact us at 543-3955 or peace@jrpc.org
