First open to the public in 1965, the Fireman Memorial Park was established to commemorate and honor the volunteers who provided fire protection to the Libby community. Since then, it has served as an ideal resting place for tourists and has provided accommodations for community events and large gatherings. Situated off U.S. Hwy 2, directly behind the Libby Area Chamber of Commerce, this multi-faceted park and campground features two sheltered picnic pavilions, a playground, a splash pad, and semi-primitive camping facilities for tents and RVs. Its location affords immediate access to Libby′s best retail shopping, family dining, and numerous business offices.
At the heart of the park lies the Libby Volunteer Fire Department Monument. The three-sided memorial wall is enshrined with volunteer firefighter′s names honoring those who have served for the LVFD. This beautiful tribute, along with a bronze statue of a fireman in full firefighting gear, is a lasting impression of each and every Libby Fire Department volunteer – past and present.
