Chief Garry Park

A Slice of Spokane History

Situated in its namesake neighborhood, Chief Garry Park stretches across nearly 11 acres of green space that's been a community fixture since 1912. The park received its official name in 1932, honoring Spokane Garry - an influential Native American leader and educator from the Spokane Tribe whose legacy continues to resonate in the area.

Get Your Game On

Looking to burn some energy? There's plenty of space here to do so. The sprawling green spaces are ideal for tossing a frisbee, having a picnic, or simply lounging under the shade of oak trees with a good book.

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the three baseball/softball diamonds where you can catch local leagues in action or perhaps join a pick-up game. The basketball courts get plenty of use too, and there's ample space for impromptu volleyball matches or whatever recreational activity strikes your fancy.

Kid-Friendly Corner

If you've got little ones in tow, head to the southwest section where you can find playground equipment designed to keep the kiddos entertained and active.

When summer temperatures climb, the splash pad becomes the park's main attraction. Children enjoy dashing through the spraying water, providing relief during those hot Spokane days.

Picnics and Gatherings

Scattered around the grounds, you'll discover several picnic areas including a reservable section if you're planning something special. Picnic tables and a shelter provide comfortable spots for outdoor dining, whether it's a simple family lunch or a bigger gathering.

The park offers seasonal restrooms, with portable facilities conveniently placed near the shelter and softball fields. And yes, there are grilling areas where you can show off your barbecue skills - well-suited for those weekend cookouts when the weather cooperates.

Bring Your Four-Legged Friends

Dog owners, rejoice! Your furry companions are welcome here, but they'll need to stay on a leash. The open spaces make for pleasant dog walking routes that many locals incorporate into their daily routines.

Everyone's Welcome

Accessibility was clearly a priority in the park's design, with ADA compliant features ensuring everyone can enjoy what this green space has to offer, regardless of mobility needs.

You can find on-site parking available, making visits hassle-free even if you're coming from across town. The park welcomes visitors daily from 5AM to 11PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy this communal area.
