I've lived in Spokane pretty much since 1993, and had no idea this place existed. It has the most badass rock walls around the viewing points. It feels like midevil times, but then the hood all around here is all amazing homes. I've been driving around with my mouth wide open, probably look just like a mouth breather to everyone. The only thing I noticed about the two parks I've found using Google maps in this area,it's all so amazing to me, but not one person I've passed or seen, has even acknowledged me, not even dirty look. Maybe I died and they don't see me? I could be a ghost? I usually get dirty looks or police start looking at me because my truck is a 96 and that I'm trash, probably not why but anyway I'm going way off into some issues I might need to get some counseling on.

The homes around it are also very picturesque and architecturally Beautiful! You may see trash from the homeless or from kids on one side of the cliff but that just means you have to find the opposite side of that, where the stairs are. It's worth the pleasant drive up south hill during the spring and summer, I'd like to see it...
Read moreThis park is basically a small hiking area with steps that lead up to the top of a rocky point that someone a long time ago built a short stone wall. There is a padlocked gate on the upper stairway but no "Keep Out" signs. Easy to go around the gate and up the stairs to the top. It looks like it may be a party area but this reviewer has no idea if it is a patrolled area by police. There is also a small disc golf course. Maybe...
