When snow hits and conditions are safe, Spokane’s parks and natural hills become popular places for sledding and winter play. Check city park or state park pages before heading out so you have the most up-to-date information on snow conditions and access.

Spokane spots to consider:

  • Manito Park’s open grassy areas and gentle slopes are popular for sledding and snow play when snowfall is enough to cover the ground. Its central location on the South Hill makes it one of the easiest places for a quick neighborhood snow day outing. (Source: City of Spokane, Washington)

Further outdoors:

  • Riverside State Park — This large state park northwest of Spokane has rolling terrain and open natural areas that can work well for sledding and winter exploring when snow accumulates, and it is about a 25 minute drive from the city.
