Healthy Parks,
Healthy Neighborhoods

A 20 year investment in neighborhood parks, safety, and maintenance

Levy Initiative

City of Spokane Parks & Recreation has placed on the August 2024 primary ballot a levy to improve parks in neighborhoods city-wide. The plan reflects the top community requests for park improvements, based on extensive feedback gathered during our 2021/2022 master planning, to which over 5,100 Spokane residents provided input.

What would be included?

• Enhanced security with hiring of at least 4 additional Park Rangers
• Enhanced maintenance across all parks, keeping parks green and pools open.
• 3 new neighborhood parks (Shiloh Hills, North Indian Trail, and Latah/Hangman)
• 3 major park renovations (Minnehaha, Harmon, and Grant)
• 32+/- full playground replacements
• 22+/- playground repairs
• 45+/- restroom improvements
• 4 - 6 new all-weather sports fields
• 16+/- sport court renovations
• 1 new disc golf course
• 1 new pump track
• 12+/- irrigation system replacements
• 4 trail and trailhead renovation/developments
• 1 ADA Trailhead and River Access improvement at Boulder Beach
