Spokane Whitewater Park
- Status
- Funded in 2007
Spokane will use this grant to construct two whitewater features in the Spokane River, and improve parking, build access trails, and provide an interpretive kiosk and restroom on the south bank of the river. The site is near the Sandifur Memorial Bridge, about 1 mile west of downtown Spokane, and is at the hub of a regional trail network. The whitewater features will be constructed from rock grouted with concrete, and arranged in a double U configuration just downstream of the bridge. Work will include adding structures for erosion control, and creating drops and pools in the river to improve fish habitat. The project will remove five abandoned concrete railroad bridge piers that pose a safety hazard to boaters. Spokane will contribute $530,000 from a state grant and donations of cash and materials
