We live in a unique part of Southwest Spokane close to downtown and yet adjacent to many natural areas. There is nearby access to both I-90 and Highway 195 as well as the Spokane Airport. We have Finch Arboretum, High Bridge/People’s Park, High Bridge Disc Golf Course , Spokanimal’s High Bridge Dog Park, and beautiful Indian Canyon Golf Course. Palisades/Rimrock/Indian Canyon Conservation Area has walking and riding trails and views of the city and Mt. Spokane. There is nearby access to Riverside State Park with trails and views of the Spokane River. We are also the gateway to Fish Lake Trail and the Centennial Trail is also close by, both paved for cycling, walking, rollerblading, dog walking and in the Winter cross country skiing. We have Whittier Neighborhood Park with a playground, picnic tables and tennis court, basketball court and baseball diamond.
We hope that you care about our neighborhood and will attend meetings and participate in neighborhood events. This website is a resource to keep you informed. For Meeting notes, Bylaws and other documents are stored under the Document Tab on the Home page.
