Spokane Parks Foundation

We are so grateful for your support!

Visit Molina Healthcare at Summer Parkways 2026 on Tuesday 16 June, 6pm-9pm.
Please thank them for their generous sponsorship of Summer Parkways. Without sponsors as gracious as Molina Healthcare, our annual Summer Parkways would not exist. Thanks Molina Healthcare for your contributions to the community and continued support.
Find them at 2 locations on our car-free 4-mile route at Manito Park and Comstock Park

😊😊😊

For one evening each June, several miles of Spokane’s South Hill streets transform into a space for bikes, skates, running shoes, sidewalk chalk, live music, and whatever other human-powered fun people decide to bring along. Spokane Summer Parkways returns June 16 with a 4-mile car-free route through the Manito and Comstock neighborhoods, inviting the community to move, connect, and play outdoors together.

A HUGE thank you to The General Store Spokane for being an incredible partner in helping local children enjoy a safe, fun, and confident summer.

This year, through their April Round Up at the Register campaign, customers and staff came together to raise an amazing $4,250.28 to support the Make a Splash in a Kid’s Life swimsuit drive. Every penny rounded up helps ensure local children have access to a brand-new swimsuit this summer.

A new swimsuit can open the door to swimming lessons, summer camps, pool outings, and other activities that help children stay active, build confidence, and create lasting memories. For many families, purchasing a new swimsuit can be a financial challenge, and these donations help remove that barrier so every child has the opportunity to participate and feel included.

Thank you to The General Store, their employees, and their customers for their generosity and dedication to our community!

We're excited to share the winners of the Greater Spokane Parks Challenge for May, Wesley S. and Amanda D. - congrats! 🥳 Check your email for details on how to claim your prizes.

June means a new Challenge to complete! This month's theme is "hiking and biking." Share a photo from the trails or on two wheels with us via our Challenger portal, and you'll be entered to win some fabulous prizes. For your Bonus Challenge entry, attend a park event - like Spokane Summer Parkways on 6/16 - and share that photo our way too!
