History
Park Road Pool Park is located in the southwest area of the Spokane Valley adjacent to the Centennial Middle
School. The area consists of older established mixed -uses with residential, commercial and some industrial
activity in the vicinity.
The land was deeded to Spokane County in 1967 as surplus property by the West Valley School District.
Construction on the site was undertaken in June of 1968, concurrent with the development of Terrace View Pool.
In 1981, the pool was being considered for closure after budget reductions. The area citizens responded by
forming the Park Road Pool Association. They engaged in fund raising efforts that kept the pool opened.
In 1988, bond dollars financed the renovation and repair of the pool and its mechanical and electrical systems.
These measures and revenue from the Splashdown concession at the Valley Mission Park removed the threat of
closing the pool.
The pool received major renovations in 1995 with the assistance of Community Block Grants with improvements
made to the locker rooms, restrooms, the pool entry was made handicapped accessible and connected to public
sewers.
While the Park Road Pool site is limited in size, it does have room for additional facilities such as picnic tables.
Automatic irrigation was added to the lawn area in 2001, but the park needs a redesign and renovation. Many of
the park activities are planned in conjunction with the West Valley School District and the Red Cross, which uses
the pool for swim lessons.
