Manito Park, Spokane

One of Spokane's treasures! Manito park was originally a zoo and was converted to a park in the early 1900s. It offers a variety of different gardens and is a great place to spend a day. Some features are a duck pond, lilac gardens, rose gardens, Japanese gardens, perennial gardens, a green house, and my personal favorite, Duncan gardens. In between each section there is natural Spokane beauty, and playgrounds/ covered shelters are at upper and lower Manito. Upper also has a splash pad.

Absolutely beautiful place to walk and explore. Lots of beautiful gardens, a large variety of places to visit. The Japanese Garden is absolutely serene, and provides a very calming atmosphere. There are events held here regularly, and there are always interesting people to meet while on your walk.

So much to see here, the Conservatory is open daily, come see some of the oldest living plants in the area. The Japanese garden hosts plants and scenery and brightly colored koi. The Rose Garden has more varieties to see than I ever knew existed, giant Dahlia's can be found not far from the Lilacs and the Mirror pond all contribute to one of Spokane's largest and most beautiful places that must be seen.

This place is beautiful and still free! There's so much to see and I loved walking around. The bathrooms stalls don't have doors which is kind of strange.

This is the biggest and best park in Spokane. So much beauty and nature. There is so much to do there! This place also has a lots of Poké stops and gyms. Definitely a place to go and visit for hours!
