Organizers

Made Possible by a Grant from Spokane Parks Foundation

The Spokane Parks Foundation has served our Spokane community for more than 72 years, investing over $6 million in parks throughout Spokane County. It was created in 1951 to engage the community in preserving and supporting parks. Today, we continue to honor and celebrate that vision and the outdoor community spirit that draws so many of us to make our homes here.

Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council 

The Council is neighborhood volunteers that make our streets safer, cleaner and greener.  We maintain good, collaborative relationships with City Staff, and our Spokane City Council Representatives.  We are a place to learn how our city and county operate, with talks at every meeting from the people who do the work.
