Meadowglen Park consists of +/-30 acres of city owned land which sits undeveloped within Spokane’s rapidly developing North Indian Trail Neighborhood. More than 2,800 of neighborhood households lack walkable access to a park, making the neighborhood’s ‘park walkability’ score the worst in the city. Developing Meadowglen Park significantly improves park access for residents within this neighborhood by creating walkable access to a developed park for over 650 households. It is one of three parks identified specifically within the 2022 park and natural lands master plan for major replacement and has been a primary desire for the neighborhood for over two decades. An initial park renovation concept plan has already been generated with the community.

The planned project will include design, public outreach, and construction phases. Proposed improvement includes new development of up to 14 acres of park area and preservation of at least 16 acres of property as natural land. Proposed improvements include a new neighborhood playground, restroom and associated utilities, pavilion / gazebo structure, paved off-street parking lot, sport court, paved pathways, ADA improvements, irrigation system, multipurpose turf fi eld, connection to existing soft surface trails, and landscape improvements. It is envisioned that this project will consciously limit the amount of turfgrass and include large portions of ‘meadow landscape’. Should funding permit, neighborhood dog park and/or splash pad may also be included
