MISSOULA — If you've walked across the Beartracks Bridge after dark recently you may have noticed a more colorful pavilion at Caras Park in downtown Missoula.

The Missoula Downtown Foundation, which funded the project, says the newly installed the new LED-colored lights not only "elevate the park's aesthetic appeal" but also help "contribute to the parks safety and accessibility at night."
