Huntington Park

Huntington Park is a scenic urban park located along the south bank of the Spokane River in downtown Spokane, Washington. Dedicated in 2014, the park provides visitors with spectacular views of the Spokane Falls and the Monroe Street Bridge.

Nestled between City Hall and the historic Washington Water Power building, Huntington Park offers a unique vantage point to experience the power and beauty of the Spokane River. The park features cascading viewpoints that start at City Hall Plaza and include a 360-degree overlook walking way, allowing visitors to get close to the roaring falls.

Throughout the park, visitors will find interpretive signs that provide information about the area's Native American heritage, the history of hydroelectric power in Spokane, and the local ecology. The park also incorporates several public art installations, including metal sculptures and statues honoring the Native American tribes who historically fished along these riverbanks.

Huntington Park is designed to be accessible year-round, though the water flow and viewing experience change with the seasons. Spring and early summer typically offer the most impressive water flow, while autumn provides a colorful backdrop as the surrounding foliage changes. In winter, visitors may observe interesting ice formations when water levels are lower.

The park serves as an important link in Spokane's network of riverside parks and trails, connecting to the larger Riverfront Park nearby. Its location in the heart of downtown makes it a popular spot for both locals and tourists to enjoy a moment of natural beauty amidst the urban landscape.
