Millwood Park

Park History

Tucked into the greater Spokane metropolitan area, Millwood Park has been representing the heart of Millwood, Washington since 1946. This five-acre green space has become a popular community gathering spot with various activities available.

Layout and Design

The park offers both wide-open green spaces and dedicated recreation areas. Whether you want to run around or just relax on the grass, you'll find space for both active and quiet activities.

There's a thoughtful blend of natural and constructed elements within the grounds. The grass is well-maintained, and if you're feeling adventurous, there's even a climbing tree that has become something of a local landmark.

Just a heads up - the park sits near some train tracks, so you might hear the occasional rumble and whistle as trains pass by. It's part of the park's character, but some might find it momentarily disruptive.

Recreation Facilities

Kids gravitate toward the park's playground, which offers a safe space to burn off energy. Set on a gravel base, it features various equipment pieces suitable for different ages - from toddlers to older children.

When summer temperatures rise, the wading pool and splash pad become the park's most popular spots. The wading pool is particularly shallow, ideal for little ones to splash around without parents worrying too much.

Sports enthusiasts won't be disappointed either. The park houses tennis courts, pickle ball courts, compact basketball courts, and a soccer field where friendly matches regularly break out.

Amenities

Gatherings big and small find their home at Millwood with two picnic shelters, including a charming gazebo that operates on a first-come basis. Scattered throughout are plenty of picnic tables and BBQ grills - everything you need for anything from family reunions to casual lunch meetups.

The park's restroom facilities deserve special mention for being notably clean and well-maintained. They're conveniently positioned near the playground - a thoughtful touch that parents of young children will especially appreciate.

Community Events

A small but vibrant farmers market pops up weekly, bringing locals together over fresh produce and handmade goods. The park occasionally hosts special gatherings too, like the Millwood Fresh Hops Beer Festival, bringing more community members together in the space.

Location and Access

You'll find Millwood Park just east of Argonne Road on Frederick Avenue, making it a convenient destination for locals year-round. There's plenty of parking available, so access is never a problem.

The park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 10PM. It's dog-friendly and consistently well-maintained, creating a space that feels both safe and inviting no matter when you decide to visit.
