History
Sullivan Park is located on the north side of a 5.8 acre parcel owned by Washington State Parks & Recreation,
along the bank of the Spokane River, and west of Sullivan Road in a predominately industrial area. The site
includes the Western Square Dance Association located on leased land from the County. The land to the north of
the park is owned by the State and used by the State Highway Department.
The county -owned portion of the park was acquired in two separate transactions. The original 4.5 acres were
received from Washington State in 1957. In 1960, the State added a small three- quarter acre piece on the north.
Five additional acres were made available by the Inland Empire Paper Company through a use permit granted to
the Spokane Valley Woman's Club and connect the park to the Spokane River.
Under the sponsorship of the Spokane Valley Women's Club, the picnic and play equipment were gradually put
in place. In 1960, the Western Dance Association built the Recreation Center. The Dance Center is heavily
booked and open to other dance organizations. A riding ring was built in 1964, but was removed in 1986 after the
facilities deteriorated.
A new sidewalk along Sullivan Road, parking barricades, irrigation and a remodeled restroom were added in the
late 1980s. The park is considered a trailhead for the Spokane River Centennial Trail.
