Please note: Art and other group activities are welcomed and encouraged in City of Spokane parks. Like all activities, we ask that groups follow park rules.
We are updating our policies and procedures for group activities, to provide more clarity and ensure that activities are coordinated with park maintenance and limit the impact on other visitors.
In the meantime, groups using space 'as available' do not require a permit unless food is being served to 15+ people. For those looking to reserve a dedicated park space, a permit is required; please email ParkOpsReservations@spokanecity.org.

Annual Park Restroom Season

Due to weather limitations, the annual park restroom season runs from the first weekend in May through the third weekend in September. This restroom season includes all parks except Riverfront Park, Manito Park, Finch Arboretum, the SE Sports Complex and the Dwight Merkel Sports Complex.

Please Note: Early spring and later in the fall, portable toilets will be placed at youth sports sites and the more popular locations such as Audubon Park, Comstock Park and Franklin Park.
