Thornton Murphy Park

Entertainment for hours with a fantastic splash pad, swings, slides, basketball court and baseball diamonds, bathrooms, picnic areas, and a community garden with endless marmot sightings. This park has large, grassy fields and many benches under trees to seek shade while the littles play for the day.

Great park for families and kids, certainly DOGS.... Nice picnicking spots here as well..... LOTS of big trees for shade. BBQ pits, playground, basketball courts and softball fields are available and plenty of parking in the lot and along the street. Nice park. Great place and well kept for the city parks.

The rating is not for the park itself but the joke of a "reservation" system in place by Spokane Parks and Rec for events. My four year old's birthday party was almost ruined due to the small gazebo being taken up by another family (not their fault) because they came there early. We paid $50 for four hour slot but didn't get the gazebo as reserved. We were told over the phone that there would be signs set up but apparently that's not a thing If clearly there's a reservation system in place and you're charging us for it, there should be signs, something to suggest that this little area is reserved and separately paid for, on the day of by the park authorities. If not, just stick to the normal expectations of city residents ie. first come first. The park itself is great, with splash pads, swings, basketball court nearby. Again, the two star rating is to draw attention to the callousness of the Parks and Rec, not the park itself

Great little park to watch the grandkids play in the evening. Plenty of shade, splash pad, basketball courts, swings and playgrounds

This is a nice park, with a playground, water play area and a bathroom.
