Proposed Depot Park Stage: Whitefish Parks and Recreation Community Engagement Request for Input
This website has been developed to determine if there is community support in exploring a permanent stage or additional hardscaped surface for outdoor performances and events in Depot Park, and if so, to provide all news and resources about the project if it moves forward. Please see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to the right on this webpage for all the details on this project.
The City of Whitefish believes community participation is a critical component of the planning process and understands community members are holders of local knowledge. We invite you to subscribe to this site (located at top right) to receive information which will be provided through website updates, emailed newsletters, any upcoming events and posting of text, and documents.
Along with in-person meetings, participation will be possible through message boards viewable to the public and any surveys we post. In addition to the benefit of allowing users to engage and interact online, the website makes it possible for community members who might not typically attend public meetings or workshops due to job situations, financial constraints, childcare needs or other difficulties, to participate at their convenience.
