Future Planning Event for Mount Spokane Hosted by Parks Commission
By Kristy Tallman, May 26, 2024 SPOKANE, Wash. -- The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is hosting a community event called “Future Planning for Mount Spokane: Base Camp” on June 1 at the Wonder Building in downtown Spokane to help develop an updated long-term vision for Mount Spokane State Park. The community is invited to meet with Parks staff from 9-11:30 a.m. to learn more about Mount Spokane, the planning effort, and the many organizations, partners, and programs that help make the park one of the region’s best places to enjoy nature. Parks staff will be joined by partners, including Spokane Winter Knights, Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, Washington Trails Association, Spokane Nordic Ski Association, Spokane Ski and Snowboard Park, Backcountry Horseman of Washington and the Friends of Mount Spokane. There will also be light refreshments and a fun activity for kids provided by the Mobius Discovery Center. The master plan process, called the “Future Planning for Mount Spokane,” is rooted in the exploration of what Mount Spokane means to individuals and communities and how Parks can honor that meaning over the next 20 years. Each phase of the planning process will reflect that journey, beginning with the “Base Camp” community event on June 1, followed later in the summer by a “Camp Which Way” stakeholder meeting to work through ideas and finally a “Summit Ascent” community workshop in the fall to finalize stakeholder input. The end result of this community-informed effort to identify the long-term needs and management of Mount Spokane will be a master plan, or roadmap, to guide future investments and management decisions. The new master plan will consider establishing Bear Creek Lodge as a new gateway into the park, winter and summer trails, facilities and infrastructure, what recreation activities are allowed in what areas, long-term boundary of the park, resource conservation and protection, and implementation and funding strategies. Those interested in participating but unable to attend the event can sign up for the project’s mailing list.
