Spokane,
Washington
Riverfront Park
List
with GoNorthwest!
The Spokane River and
Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane.
Riverfront Park in
downtown Spokane covers more than 100 acres and features flower-bedecked
paths, rides, spacious lawns, park benches, a variety of public art and
various venues including the the Spokane Opera House and an IMAX Theater.
The park had its origins as the site for
Expo '74, the city's World's Fair, and subsequently was preserved as a
landmark park popular with local citizens as well as out-of-town visitors.
 The
Spokane River, the center-piece of the park, has its origins in Coeur
d'Alene Lake in North Idaho and empties into the Columbia River north of
the town of Davenport. The river is popular with kayakers and
rafters up and down its length.
Popular park attractions include the
Pavilion, an amusement park; the
hand-carved 1909 Looff Carousel; the giant Radio Flyer wagon that doubles
as a slide; the gondola ride over the Spokane River; and the various works
of public art highlighted by The Joy of Running Together, a throng
of life-size runners sculptured in steel by artist David Govedare that are
seen racing down one of the park's sidewalks.
Steel sculpture "The Joy
of Running" by David Govedare.
