SPOKANE – Grant Park’s new playground will open on Wednesday, October 4, marked by a ribbon cutting event at 10 a.m. Grant Park is located at the corner of 10th and Arthur.
“Investing in our neighborhood parks is our next big focus, and we love the opportunity to celebrate this new playground at Grant Park,” said Garrett Jones, interim city administrator. “Parks are community gathering spaces, and we’ve heard a strong desire for better playgrounds. We just celebrated a ribbon cutting at Liberty Park last week, and Grant’s new playground is another example of that neighborhood focus on safe, healthy, active recreation.”
The project includes a new playground with a saucer swing, rope climbers, merry go round, and monkey bars for children to enjoy climbing, swinging, and spinning together.
Construction and equipment cost $98,000, funded by American Rescue Plan funds designated by the City Council and the Spokane Parks & Recreation budget. Construction began in September.
