Mirabeau Meadows

A Natural Escape in the Valley

Tucked within the larger Mirabeau Point Park complex in Spokane Valley, Mirabeau Meadows offers a peaceful 10-acre retreat from the everyday hustle. This verdant space is an ideal spot to reconnect with nature without venturing far from the city.

The sprawling grassy areas are great for picnic blankets, impromptu frisbee games, or just stretching out with a good book. Smooth, paved walking trails weave through stands of majestic pines, making for easy strolls no matter your fitness level.

Explore the Trail Network

A nice feature of Mirabeau is how its paths connect to the broader trail system within the park complex. You can start with a short walk and end up on an afternoon adventure exploring the diverse landscapes of the entire area.

If you're feeling particularly adventurous, these trails will lead you to the Centennial Trail and down to the nearby river. Keep your eyes peeled while wandering - you might spot turtles sunning themselves, ducks paddling along, or if you're lucky, one of the chubby marmots that call this area home.

Natural Wonders

The park's waterfall provides a pleasant background soundtrack of rushing water that adds to the peaceful atmosphere. The adjacent pond area has become a sanctuary for turtles and other aquatic creatures, making it a delightful spot for nature watching.

As you explore the mix of open meadows and wooded areas, you'll discover plenty of scenic views worth pausing for. Just a heads up for summer visits: snakes occasionally enjoy sunbathing along the trails, so stay aware of your surroundings.

Space for Community Gatherings

At the heart of the park stands an impressive 40-foot by 40-foot stage, complete with ADA-accessible ramp and electrical hookups. This feature makes the meadows a good venue for everything from small performances to community gatherings.

Throughout the year, the park hosts events like Valleyfest, classic car shows, church gatherings, and family reunions. The generous layout means there's usually room for major events while still preserving quiet corners for those seeking solitude.

Perfect Picnic Destination

The covered picnic shelters offer protection from both rain showers and summer sun. The pavilions come equipped with sinks and electricity, making them functional for gatherings. Some even feature large cooking grills for proper barbecue sessions.

Planning something special? The picnic areas can be reserved for birthday celebrations, baby showers, or even corporate team-building days. Just be prepared to leave a refundable deposit to ensure everything stays clean for the next group.

Practical Park Details

Clean restrooms are available and generally well-maintained, though note they're typically only open from mid-April through October. Dog lovers will appreciate the pet waste stations within the grounds (remember that your four-legged friends need to stay leashed).

Getting to Mirabeau Meadows couldn't be easier - it's conveniently located near Spokane Valley Mall with plenty of parking available. Open daily from 6AM to 9PM, the park accommodates early morning joggers and evening strollers alike.
