• Manito Park - 1702 S Grand Blvd, Spokane, WA 99203

Now spanning 98 acres, the park includes 20 acres of beautifully manicured themed botanical gardens. These include the Nishinomiya Tsutakawa Japanese Garden, as well as a rose garden and lilac garden. Manito Park brings the tranquility of nature into the city.
