~ Spokane's High Bridge dog park will be temporarily closing its gates on August 5th for a much-needed renovation. The 10-acre park, located at 330 S. A Street, will undergo construction to improve the overall experience for both dogs and their owners. The park is expected to reopen in early October.
According to Jason Conley, the interim director of City of Spokane Parks & Recreation, the renovation of High Bridge dog park aligns with the community's desire as stated in their Parks and Natural Lands Master Plan. The plan was developed based on feedback from both users and non-users of the park, with a focus on creating a healthy space for dogs while also mitigating any negative impacts on the surrounding areas.
The renovation plans include separate areas for small and large dogs, agility features, improved surfacing, seating, water fountains in each dog area, expanded parking, improved entry/exit points (including an ADA accessible area), better lighting, and selective tree thinning to reduce fire fuels.

High Bridge dog park will serve as one of two replacements for the unofficial south hill dog park that was displaced due to the construction of Peperzak middle school. The other replacement is a smaller dog park near the former site at 63rd & Regal. This smaller park will cater to the needs and desires expressed by dog park users and neighbors during outreach efforts. Construction is already underway at this location and is expected to open in October. In the meantime, a temporary dog park is available nearby at 65th & Mt. Vernon.
During the closure of High Bridge dog park, visitors can still enjoy two other locations: the current south hill location near Peperzak middle school (63rd & Regal) and downtown pocket dog park (Riverside & Adams).
Funding for this much-needed renovation is provided by Spokane Public Schools. Once completed, City of Spokane Parks & Recreation will take over the operation of the park.

City of Spokane Parks & Recreation is responsible for managing nearly 120 properties across 4,000 acres of park land.
