Mission Park

Location and Overview

Found in Spokane's Logan neighborhood, Mission Park spreads across 13 scenic acres along the Spokane River. This green space provides a nice escape from city life while still being centrally located. With its proximity to Gonzaga University, you'll often spot students tossing frisbees or families spreading out picnic blankets across its welcoming grounds.

Recreational Amenities

Mission Park offers options for both serious athletes and casual recreation. The baseball fields feature turf surfaces (wheelchair accessible!), while the tennis courts and basketball courts invite friendly competition and solo practice alike.

Kids will make a beeline for the bark-surfaced playground complete with swings and climbing equipment. Parents can breathe easy knowing restrooms are just steps away - always a plus when little ones are involved!

When summer temperatures climb, the park's pool and splash pad are popular cooling-off spots. The concrete splash pad especially draws families looking to cool off without committing to a full swim day.

Fitness and Exercise Options

Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the outdoor exercise equipment scattered across the western side of the park. It's like having a gym membership with much better views!

The expansive grassy areas aren't just pretty to look at - they're ideal for impromptu soccer games, yoga sessions, or simply lounging with a good book under the shade of mature trees.

Trail Access and Natural Features

One of the park's greatest assets is its connection to the Centennial Trail, a paved pathway that follows the Spokane River's meandering course. Lace up your walking shoes, hop on your bike, or bring your rollerblades - the trail offers endless exploration opportunities.

Within the park, tree-lined areas create natural canopies meant for picnic areas. You'll find tables dotted across the grounds, including a reservable covered pavilion that's ideal for birthday parties, family reunions, or any gathering that deserves a scenic backdrop.

Facilities

The newer bathroom building houses four separate unisex restroom facilities that are generally well-maintained. It's these practical amenities that make longer visits to the park comfortable and convenient.

Dog owners, you're welcome here! The park offers plenty of open space for your four-legged friends to stretch their legs. Just remember to bring bags and clean up after your pup to keep the park enjoyable for everyone.

Special Features

Behind the aquatic center lies a hidden green - a dedicated lawn bowling area that adds an unexpected touch of leisure sport to the park's offerings.

There's something special about how Mission Park blends seamlessly with the historic Logan neighborhood surrounding it. The park hosts community events like the Logan Neighborhood Block Party.
