Spokane River Land Acquisition
- Status
- Funded in 2003
Spokane County seeks to create a riverfront park in the eastern Spokane Valley by acquisition of two properties totaling 30.98 acres on the Spokane River. County citizens have identified the need for more waterfront parks as a very high priority. Public ownership of waterfront properties has become increasingly difficult as the county continues to grow. The project site meets this public need by providing over one-half mile of water access along the Spokane River. Development at the site will offer a variety of recreation opportunities including fishing from the shoreline, tube or driftboat access, canoe and kayak accesses, possible swimming, and other passive recreation uses. The site will serve as a destination point for users of the Spokane River Centennial Trail which borders the property to the south. This project will be developed with combinations of irrigated turf areas, shelters, restrooms, paved parking, natural areas and connecting accessible pathways. The site will attract users as a premier passive water access/recreation park.
Location
Inter-state Freeway (I-90), exist 299, north to Spokane Bridge Road, left to Spokane River centennial Trailhesd parking lot.
