Park Restroom Improvements Proposed for 2025 Levy

Spokane's Parks & Recreation department is responding to community concerns regarding the state of park restrooms, particularly as the demand rises with warmer weather. In a recent outreach effort, 70% of participants highlighted restroom improvements as a top priority in the 2022 Master Plan. The article outlines several critical issues, including aging sewer systems that hinder reliability, facilities vulnerable to vandalism, and maintenance difficulties due to a lack of staffing. To address these problems, a proposed Parks Levy on the November 2025 ballot aims to renovate or replace all park restrooms, implement more reliable water systems, and enhance lighting and fixtures. Additionally, the plan includes vital upgrades for ADA compliance and increased staffing to ensure faster repairs and more frequent cleaning.

This comprehensive approach seeks to create safer and more accessible park environments for all users. For further details, residents are encouraged to visit SpokaneParks. org/levy. Contact information for reporting maintenance issues is also provided, fostering community engagement.
