SPOKANE ~ On Thursday, September 28th, 2023, the City of Spokane Parks & Recreation will be opening Phase I of the Susie Stephens Trail with a ribbon cutting ceremony near the intersection of W. Woodland Blvd. and D. St. The trail is named in honor of environmentalist and bicycle and pedestrian safety advocate Susie Stephens, who tragically passed away in 2002 after being struck by a bus at a crosswalk.
The trail will span from Woodland Center in Finch Arboretum to the intersection of 13th and Lindeke St., where it will connect with the Fish Lake Trail. Phase I includes an 8' wide path along the street tree exhibit on W. Woodland Blvd., between D. St. and W. Trinity Pl., which was funded by a $100,000 donation from Susie's mother Nancy MacKerrow that was matched by City of Spokane Parks & Recreation to complete this portion of the trail.

Nancy has been honoring her daughter's legacy through planting hundreds of trees and trail building since her passing, and is excited to see this project come to fruition. Timing for future phases of the trail will be shared as they are known.
City of Spokane Parks & Recreation stewards nearly 120 properties across 4,000 acres of park land, including manicured parks, natural lands, aquatic centers, golf courses, sports complexes, and an arboretum as well as offering hundreds of recreation opportunities for all ages and abilities to improve the health and quality of life for our community.
