City volleyball court refurbished for open play

The City of Whitefish Parks and Recreation Department recently refurbished the outdoor beach volleyball court at Mountain Trails Park on Wisconsin Avenue.

The court is now open for community use including youth recreation programs, league play, community tournaments and adult recreation.

This project was made possible by generous support from Stack Financial Management (SFM) and InvesTech, Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund and a donation made through the Whitefish Community Foundation.

This project involved several upgrades to an existing volleyball court which was not functional due to unsuitable surface and aging equipment. The existing sand was removed and replaced with washed and finely screened sand which is required for a safe playing surface. New components to the court were also installed, including poles, net, boundary lines, safety padding and edge guard. The work was completed by Triton Construction.

With an additional generous donation from SFM and InvesTech, two new picnic tables were also purchased and installed in the park near the new volleyball court.

The volleyball court is available on a first-come, first-served basis. It can also be reserved by the day or the hour. Visit https://www.cityofwhitefish.org/Facilities to request a reservation.
