QUESTION: Why do we need all-weather fields in every region of our city?
With increased interest and participation in after-school sports and activities at all of our five neighborhood high schools, our existing grass fields are wearing down faster than we can maintain them.
A partnership with Spokane Parks and Recreation to create a citywide system of all-weather surface fields will represent the lowest possible cost to provide a high-quality play experience because we can program more activities on one all-weather surface field than on two to three grass fields.

QUESTION: What’s happening at Madison Elementary School?
ANSWER: The Together Spokane proposal for Madison Elementary School, the oldest northside school in the district, includes replacing the 75-year-old building with a new two-story structure on the same footprint. This new building would accommodate special education programs that are currently housed in five portable buildings outside the main school.
The school’s location, adjacent to Franklin Park at North Division Street and West Queen Avenue, has created an opportunity for Spokane Public Schools and Spokane Parks and Recreation to explore sharing land and resources. This collaboration would co-locate the new Madison building with an enclosed, publicly accessible, multi-use recreational facility.
The proposed “Field House” could include multiple indoor courts, one of which could be fully partitioned for use as Madison’s primary gym and cafeteria space. The Field House would also have a separate entrance, allowing the public to use the facility for basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and other community activities both during and after school hours.
Co-locating public spaces helps save resources and taxpayer dollars. A similar framework has been implemented before, such as when the Spokane Public Library built its Hillyard branch at Shaw Middle School.
As SPS and Parks developed this proposal and other Together Spokane projects, numerous community organizations expressed interest in investing capital and entering agreements for priority program use. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Spokane County, Pacific Northwest Qualifier and Spokane Hoopfest have signed letters of intent to collaborate with SPS and Parks for Together Spokane. Their participation will enhance spaces for education, recreation, and community wellness, benefiting Spokane residents of all ages.
