Wentel Grant Park

Your Neighborhood Retreat

Tucked away near Latah Creek (or as locals sometimes call it, Hangman Creek) and Highway 195, Wentel Grant Park is that little glimpse of green space that brings the neighborhood together. Despite its modest size, it offers a surprisingly refreshing escape for nearby residents - kind of like finding a quiet country spot without actually leaving the city.

Get Your Game On

Fancy tossing a ball around? The park comes equipped with fields for baseball and softball, plus a basketball court where you can shoot some hoops with friends or family. Nothing fancy, but everything you need for an active afternoon outdoors.

There's also a spacious open field that's ideal for impromptu frisbee games, picnic blankets, or letting your four-legged friend burn off some energy. Kids can enjoy the playground with swings, however we should mention the equipment has seen better days - a bit of vintage charm, if you will.

A Touch of Nature

One of the best things about this park is its proximity to Hangman Creek/Latah Creek, adding a natural backdrop to your outdoor time. When summer rolls around, you'll spot people floating down the creek in kayaks and tubes, enjoying the water.

The nearby forest area creates a pleasant natural setting that makes this park special. If you're looking to clear your head with some fresh air without committing to a full-on wilderness adventure, this combination of recreational space and natural elements hits just right.

Before You Visit

Note that the park isn't particularly designed with accessibility in mind. You'll need to navigate some slopes to enter the area, which might be challenging if you have mobility issues.

On the plus side, the park typically stays peaceful and uncrowded - making it an ideal spot when you need a quiet moment away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
