About the Venue

Bonner Park Splash Deck is one of Missoula's classic free neighborhood splash stops, set inside a larger community park in the University District. Families can pair the seasonal splash deck with an inclusive playground, picnic shelter, and courts, which makes it easy to turn a short water-play visit into a longer park outing. It is best for warm-weather drop-ins rather than destination travel, and the attached park amenities make it especially practical for siblings with different play styles.
