Spokane Parks and Rec has you covered! Golf courses are open and splash pads open this month. The Rotary Fountain in Riverfront Park is the first to open on May 1, and the remaining splash pads open May 24. For more information visit the Parks and Recreation page.
Construction and street sweeping also comes with warm weather. Remember to slow down, follow detours and allow for extra time to get to your destination. Stay up to date on construction projects in your neighborhood by visiting our website and clicking on the construction icon.
Want your voice to be heard by City Council? Check out the Council Consideration! Council Consideration will host top legislative items up for a vote by the City Council. Your valuable feedback from the comment form will be provided to Council members, allowing them to consider your opinions.
Getting involved with your neighborhood council is a way that citizens can help make an impact and influence important issues such as public safety, transportation, housing, and community engagement. Interested in joining your neighborhood council? Here’s how:
Find your neighborhood council. To find your neighborhood council, search your address in the map.
Attend a meeting. Just show up! Neighborhood council meetings are open to all residents and business owners within a neighborhood.
Attend virtually. Some neighborhoods offer a virtual option so you can still participate if you can’t make it in person. Reach out to your neighborhood council’s chair for more information.
Remember, you don’t have to move to live in a better neighborhood!
