    My sister had her Pride wedding here and it was beyond amazing! The gazebo was big enough to hold…read morethe entire crew. I didn't get a chance to see the rest of the park due to the fact that I was her Maid of Honor and it was drizzling outside. I loved the fact that the gazebo was so large. The wedding was fantastic and the reception immediately after went off without a hitch. On my next visit I hope to see more of the park!

    Mission Park is a 13 acre park very conveniently located walking distance from Gonzaga University…read moreand the heart of the Logan neighborhood. If you find yourself on campus and looking for a more kid friendly area (aka slides and splash pads) I would recommend a walk on down to the park! It has a large bank of tennis courts (with evening play available due to the lights!). It also has a pool! Many times when I've been here there is some kind of swimming competition occurring in the pool. Last time I stopped by they had some new fitness play equipment for adults. I have an interest in unique playground equipment so I thought this was pretty cool considering the retirement facility located right on the edge of the park. You can grab picnic supplies at the nearby Safeway or takeout from the nearby Thai restaurant and enjoy the beautiful summer weather in Spokane. I frequently see people picnicking here. One really important part of Mission Park that I must mention is the memorial to Otto Zehm. He was a mentally-ill man killed by the Spokane police in 2006. The simple memorial was placed in 2012 as part of a settlement with the city of Spokane. As a community it is important to remember the legacy of Otto Zehm and I think a visit to this memorial is an important visit for any local or tourist.

    It is a great place for parties, and for free play. I like how there is always somebody at the door…read moreas well to make sure the kids stay safe, along with a stamp program like Chuck E. Cheese. What I don't like is that if they have events where they close it to the public, they 1. Don't tell the public 2. They don't allow for any type of discounts or adjustments to the price. For example, we live 45 minutes away from the valley mall. We drove all the way down for my kids to play there because they've been begging. But they had an event that started in one hour so they said my kids could only play an hour. That was fine, I thought, but they were unwilling to either charge me 50% of the 2 hour minimum charge, or let me pay the full amount for two kids-- which would seem reasonable to me if we were forced to leave for an hour. They wouldn't make any adjustments or help in anyway so we ended up just leaving without going in, which made my kids very upset. I'd think they'd try to work with people but apparently not. Other than that, it's a clean facility and I enjoyed going there, though I haven't been back since.

    0/5 We had a terrible experience at We Play on a rainy day…read morewith our 20-month-old. To start, the pricing is ridiculous. It cost us $17 for our child, $7 for one adult (the other was free), and then $2.99 each for "full grip socks" that we were forced to buy, even though my child already had grip socks that were deemed "not full grip" with a side of "Oh we will let that slide today." Meanwhile, parents who were part of a birthday party were clearly wearing regular shoes without issue. When my husband mentioned he wouldn't even enter the playground, they still insisted he purchase socks. Once we got inside, it was utter chaos. There's no structure or staff oversight. In the toddler section, my son tried to interact with another child while playing with a toy ice cream stand, only to be pushed repeatedly by the other child. This happened three times before the other parent finally intervened--after we called out for them. Most parents were sitting on the sidelines glued to their phones, oblivious to their kids' behavior. The worst part was in the "4 and under" section, where older kids were spinning dangerously fast on a toy, hanging off the sides and running recklessly around it. My son was simply walking nearby when they knocked him over. There was no staff monitoring this area, no one enforcing age limits, and no one available to address safety concerns. This place is a disaster. If you're looking for a safe, structured, and enjoyable environment for your child, do not come here. It's overpriced, poorly managed, and unsafe. We will not be returning.

    Great park space that is definitely worth a visit! Two playgrounds that are good for slightly older…read morekids and toddlers, several swings, a splash pad and plenty of green park space! A good sized parking lot is located off Tekoa for easy access. There's plenty of open space for picnics if you bring a blanket and one picnic table available with a few trash cans. It was pretty crowded on the day that we visited and park was clean and well maintained.

    Very good park for toddlers! Splash pad, restrooms, water fountains, picnic tables, swings, slides,…read moregreen space. Parking lot and shaded areas available. This part of Manito Park is sometimes referred to as Upper Manito. It has the splash pad area. Often people end up at the duck pond playground looking for this part of the park. When I come to this area of the park I generally drive here because Manito Park is quite large. It isnt really a straight shot to get to this wing of the park from the duck pond area. It is on 25th and Tekoa. There are two banks of swings and two play structures. One of the structures is smaller and suitable for toddlers. The larger structure has some fun climbing options for older kids (but not the huge climbing options of lower Manito). This playground can be busy but I have always found people to be really nice and friendly. They encourage their kids to share toys and be kind.
