Spokane Public Schools and Spokane Parks and Recreation are joining a range of community partners to present a shared vision for the future of our city’s parks, schools, and neighborhoods.

This historic effort aligns our separate proposed ballot initiatives to maximize taxpayer investments in:

• Youth Wellness
• Education & Workforce Development
• Public Safety
• Arts & Culture
• Healthy Neighborhoods & Adult Recreation

By working together and a range of private partners, we can make strategic, fiscally responsible investments that benefit every part of our city—whether it’s ensuring our children have safe places to learn and play, expanding recreational opportunities for all ages, or creating vibrant spaces that bring our community together in an effort to:

• Expand and modernize public spaces to serve both educational and recreational needs
• Invest in every neighborhood, ensuring equitable access to safe, high-quality facilities
• Maximize efficiency by sharing resources, co-locating services, and eliminating duplication
• Respond directly to community input, ensuring projects reflect the needs and priorities of Spokane’s citizens

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape Spokane’s future, and we are committed to ensuring that every resident has a voice in the process. We look forward to continued engagement with our community as we move toward two potential ballot measures in November 2025.
