This spring, with revised protocols under Washington's Roadmap to Recovery, City of Spokane Parks & Recreation is safely offering the most robust assortment of recreation opportunities in over a year.

"We're excited to begin restoring more traditional offerings, plus some exciting new ones," said Recreation director Jennifer Papich. "I've been very proud of how our team has adapted to safely provide recreation opportunities throughout the past year despite all of the challenges, and we are excited by this forward momentum."

With over 100 programs available this spring and summer, there are recreation programs for every interest and ability. Highlights include:

Adult Athletics

Softball, Flag Football, Volleyball, and even a Cornhole League are in the mix this spring. With divisions for all skill levels, anyone is welcome to join in the fun at our region's best sports facilities. No team? No problem. Our staff will pair up free agents; a great way to meet new people and build community.

Youth Athletics

Cornhole League, Girls Fastpitch, Disc Golf (with partners United States Youth Disc Golf Association), Pickleball, Badminton, Gymnastics, and Martial Arts are all available this spring, along with the much anticipated return of the popular NFL Flag youth football league. Partners from USTA, SkyHawks, and SuperTots also offer tennis, basketball, soccer, volleyball, cheerleading, and more for ages 26mos – 12yrs.
