Parks department receives permits for Riverfront Park promenade construction

The city of Spokane’s parks department was issued $3.8 million in permits to begin work remaking Riverfront Park’s central promenade.

The promenade has been promoted as one of the chief features the $64 million bond approved by voters in 2014 would bring to the park.

The north-south pedestrian promenade through the park is envisioned as starting at the Rotary Fountain and following the Howard Street right-of-way through the park. The promenade will include updated infrastructure to support larger events, small vendors and food trucks.

Garco Construction is the promenade project’s general contractor.
