This is one of Spokanes best kept secrets. If youre not from Browns Addition, then you probably dont know about it, but for a medium-small park its got a really nice atmosphere and its a good neighborhood even though its basically downtown. You cant miss Elkfest though. Its the highlight of the year. Tons of great well crafted objects, clothing and one of a kind items. Its worth checking out.

Coeur dAlene Park in Spokane brownes addition is one of my favorite places to visit. What were the years I have seen the neighborhood change for good and for bad but overall the local residents are willing to stand up take control of their community and willing to make it a better place, including the park and all the others around. Around Coeur dAlene Park is a wonderful place to walk the neighborhood and view the old style houses and neighborhood from the past, that help Spokane and community to be this great place that we live in. All United makes one stronger. You are only as strong as your next-door neighbor. So go out in your neighborhood andget to know your neighbors,make some good connections and build a stronger community through the networking of connections you provide yourself with.

I love this beautiful park for many reasons. Its a piece if nature nestled right in with a historic neighborhood rich with character. Many of the Old homes of Spokanes wealthy founders look just as they did 100 years ago, as if frozen in a time untouched by technology and the fast paced chaos that consumes the quiet. Original cobblestone can even be seen on the surrounding streets. I love this park for an unconventional reason, as well, however. It gives those in our community who lack a permanent home a place to be. To have a place to just exist without being told you dont belong here, whether spoken or implied, is a human necessity. I know many see the homeless population as a nuisance or a problem to eradicate, so they treat them as such. Of course they act rude back then. Try not to act as if you own the park and stop treating people like they are litter; something unsightly to toss out. Im in that park everyday and I consciously make an effort to smile and greet anyone who comes across my path and I have met wonderful survivors of the human condition that make the park their place of sanctuary. They just happen to be homeless. They even watch out for me now when I walk my dog at night. Yes, theres always a few bad apples but thats true for any group of people. Bottom line is, just enjoy this park and embrace the colorfulness of the characters who make up our community down here in Browns Addition. Walk down the parks paths without judgment and just simply BE. Lifes colorful. Appreciate the diversity of the art that is us.

Nice park but not much to do needles are left in port o potties.On playground not recommended for family, do have basketball court and tennis courts

Not too bad of a park lots of homeless people though but thats cool as long as they are cool right? Lol

Great park with great views of our beautiful lake Coeur d’ Alene and marina with boardwalk

Beautiful park. restrooms filled with poop and needles. Yuk

Such a great park, I grew up there, by far one of the most beautiful parks in Spokane!

Really cute park. Great for photos, but be careful because there seems to be a lot of sketchy people hanging out.

Its a park. It has some trees. Its clean. The police are nice. The city placed it in a beautiful area to keep its beauty:) 5 starz

We had fun people watching. Nice park to visit.

Nice park but, there was a fair amount of sketchy people sleeping and loitering around. Also the kids play toys are old a worn out.

This is so sad whats happened down here. Im am truely broken hearted from what Ive seen.

I grew up partially in Brownes Addition & CDA Park was a favorite haunt. In Quarantine, I have missed the park events & hope theyll be back.

Beautiful park quiet and calm huge playground for kids and even has a hoopfest court

Spent a nice afternoon doing some portable ham radio. This is a beautiful park in Brownes Addition!

Lots of homeless people, park is looking run-down, not safe for kids as many of the homeless are intoxicated. The Mayor pushing homeless people out of downtown and into local neighborhoods is ruining historic parks like this one.

Local park near home. Lots of transient traffic, intoxicated at times. Beautiful park for short visits.

I love homeless people. I enjoy all the trash and human waste eveywhere.

Large spacious area with multiple activities to choose from

Only a couple picnic benches and not kept clean. Tables were not usable for food or things one wants to remain unstained as well as the trash cans were full with full bags of trash sitting next to picnic tables.

I love this park its so beautiful

Beautiful historical style architecture-type neighborhood. Great park with playground, gazebo and near a walking distance to a city view point.

I like it, its a grate place to buy a half point for 10 bucks in a pinch, when your dude is out and youre sick.

To many homeless in the park my kids cant even play or we cant bbq without being messed with by the homeless

Looking a bit run down. A lot of homeless people living in the park right now.

Always a great place for a fun afternoon in the sun. Whether the beach or water activity, there is lots to do. Even an airplane ride if very adventurous.

Beautiful. Perfect for families and during the summer they have events there all the time

Spring , Summer, & manicured the park is as beautiful as the adjacent homes. I give the park 3 stars due to a lack of yearround care and minimal to no lighting. A block of dark you will avoid this area apart from the community activities hosted.

Had a good time walking around there

Couer dAlene Park is just another of Spokanes charming parks that anchor a surrounding historic neighborhood. It creates the heart of Brownes Addition and features a large and decorative gazebo in the center., not to mention: a playground, swings, a tennis court, bathroom facilities, picnic tables and benches, and a large splash pad for the kids (seasonal).

It was very dirty with homeless camped out everywhere

The Art Festival once again June 1weekend. Able to walk to this fantastic event. Free admission, many amazing vendors, music and food vendors. Friends of Browns Addition came out on this beautiful weekend.

Magnificent... Ty

Its a beautiful park I love the lilac trees and the other flower trees...

Sweet place to own a shopping cart and a tent...... I had a truck and kid... bad fit.

Great location fun for the whole family and our dogs too, as long as they are on a leash.

It was great, was good weather

Visiting and stopped at this park. Looked beautiful but we were shortly followed by a junkie. Not safe.

Love this park. Its fun for everyone. They have a great staff. Its well kept, beautiful,& peaceful. Its a great place for kids to play. Lots of dog owners have fun with thier furry pals there. A great place for the homeless to have a seat and get the life on their back organized. And browns addition itself is a neat neighborhood to check out.

Great park with significant history!

A lot of homeless people.

Love this park. We are so fortunate for awesome founders who had the foresight to create our parks

I will always love this park

We love coming here with our dogs and they love it too.

Just your average park there is a splash pad and a play ground as well as quite a bit of grassy spots to picnic or walk bare foot also there is a gazebo and if its not full of people is actually pretty nice

It has a lot of old growth very tall pines. It has a old feel to it.

Lots of homeless people.

Water play area great for 4-10 yr olds. Giant trees. Beautiful neighborhood. Watch calendar for special events -- music, vendor fairs. Charming band shell.

Ive Loved this park for years! Its beautiful with huge trees and amazing shady grass!

Small park; nice water playground for kids; can sometimes be populated by sleeping homeless people.

I love this place

Beautiful place kinda odd mainsion next to duplex but peaceful and beautiful

Nice park, clean and well maintained. Beautiful with the autumn leaves.

Super beautiful, has tennis court, a really cute gazebo or two, and really gorgeous trees, a chill vibe and great neighborhood. In Browns Addition.

Plenty if shaded spots available splash pad and restrooms play areas for kids on the bus lines and well maintained you will see some less fortunites but they are rarely bother some usually very smart and great conversationalist

Nice park. Great Church across the street!

My favorite park in Spokane love the tall trees

Its a nice place to hang out

Nice place, albeit there have been quite a few child luring incidents happen there. Keep a good eye on your kids.

The oldest park in Spokane. Beautiful Victorian style houses around the park!! Great place to go have lunch and sit and relax.

No toilet paper in the restrooms for our granddaughter and the parks staff just left the facilities. Good job guys! Splash park is great for the kids. Seems that there is an abundance of homeless folks hanging out. Wasn’t bothered by that, just an observation.

The transients make it hard to bring my kids here since they are leaving sharps all over. But the parks employees seem to be trying to fix this.

Beautiful and great park. Lots of areas to picnic and play basketball with a friend; there is a small water park, playground equipment, bathrooms, lots of beautiful pine trees and shade, grass well maintained, free summer concerts, activities during the summer for the kids put on by local agencies for free, a grocery store and laundry nearby along with restaurants and pubs, gas stations, and churches; this park is surrounded by gorgeous old homes, mansions, and plenty of apartments; this park is family and dog friendly ... a good place to spend the day, take a walk, stroll with a dog, and meet up with old friends to shoot the breeze.

Very nice park, splash pad water so refreshing, pretty well kept broken glass what not.

Ive always enjoyed this park and the kids play areas arent reckless very safe like DESIGNED FOR Younger kids like 2yrs old and up

My personal favorite park in Spokane... Historically, amazing trees, beautiful Historically modern gazebo. The very first park in Spokane. A true Master price..

Tall trees

One of my favorite places for memories with kids, reflecting.

Ever since that meeting place went out of business the junkies in the area have gotten way worse. Not a cool place to bring kids.

There is no park that Katie doesnt like lol! I actually havent been there in a couple years...when we use to frequently go it was beautiful, clean, peaceful but Ive heard its gone downhill which is we have not been back which is a bummer because like I said Katie loves parks...theres always new things to sniff lol.

Beautiful park.

Great place to hang out and swim... My dad helps maintain its beauty as part of his job for the Parks Dept.

Great park

Beautiful park!! Awesome work Spokane!!! Bathrooms need a little work but understandable with vandalism.

Family friendly

I live this park. My favorite Spokane Park.

Its beautiful. I had fun today at the Art Fest

This park should be lovely. Its full of heroin junkies instead.

Best entertainment out doors.

This weekend was AMAZING. ART in the Park. Perfect weather, perfect music, variety from our local musicians. Good selection of art and food trucks. Enjoyed the weekend event. See you next week for Cannonball, 7 great bands, djs and fun. 2nd and Cannon July 8th. Come show your Pride in Browns Addition.

My kids enjoy this park. The playground was clean and the picnic area was clean as well.

I tried taking our family to this park, again, the other day, just to leave after 20 minutes. The people that are constantly there are enough to make your skin crawl, and I am NOT speaking of the homeless! These are the other parents. The toys arent worth it. There is a splash pad and rest rooms. There is a gazebo. But its just not a park we feel safe at.

Nice park. fun for For kids and adults

This review is more specifically about the skatepark. The place is brand new and super sick one of the coolest skatepark in the area definitely stop by and shred it.

Boring, nose people and if you dont have kids,dogs, or live in browns addition its lame.

Very nice cultural park.i met a lady using a Lyra who was in the circus play.very nice woman.there is no power outlets in the park but heavy security and some homeless but the place is kept very clean given the circumstance if the homeless.it is still save for parents to bring their children.it had good upkeep and biohazard containers in bathroom I presume are the key to the safer environment.

If you like the smell of heroin being smoked and homeless surrounding you this is the place for you other than that i gave a 3 star because it does have bbq pits around the place and an excellent play area for kids and if your like me and watch your kids like a hawk the homeless dont mess with you the keep to them selves. So all in all it can be a good time.

I went to take my kid to this park because the pictures people had posted made it look lovely but in reality when I got there it was basically a camp ground for MANY of Spokanes homeless population and was NOT a safe place to go

Great place for community gatherings. Many transients at other times.

Homeless people hang out here and it is not so safe at might but outside events like bbq and weddings and other close social gatherings are not affected by the people. The environment is lovely in ALL SEASONS. Its a very beautiful park. There is a fantastic play gym for the kids. I wouldnt use the bathrooms there but there is a very nice daily maintenance man.

Beautiful park. Great play area for kids too.

It is an excellent place to cook a barbeque.. and wonderful for visiting with family. Offering a clean and safe environment from all activities ranging from reading a book to meditating.

The playground was very nice, it even has a water area. The amount of homeless people in the park however was a bit concerning.

Splash pad is nice in the summer just cuz its closed but there is syringes garbage dog poop and homeless people sleeping everywhere almost year-round I would not bring my children here

Nice quite park

The park was wonderful. Both spacious and clean, the park features a very nice water area where kids can have fun for hours. Three different play sets. (Swings, a big kid set that was capable of supporting me and my two kids [Im not light], and a tiny tots area.)A concert or wedding type gazebo and bbq pits and tables. Lastly basketball court off behind the parks main features.The bathroom area was actually very clean and the tree coverage made the park feel cooler then anywhere else.My two complaints:1) The water that sprayed was so cold it was a little extreme. Not sure if they can even help that. Just go when its hot if you wanna use the water for sure.2) The sensory for the water got a bit annoying. When the kids played it would randomly shut off certain spots and the kids would just sit and try to get them on again.

Its a nice park if get the drugs out of it

I come here if I have time to kill innSpoksne. Its a nice park in historical Browns Addition. It has a nice play area for the kids big park for gatheribgs, and even a unique Gazebo for shelter. I enjoyed my time at this park paying under a tree on a sunny day reading a book. I could hear kids laughing, adults playing Frisbee, and squrills roaming around. It was like a scene out of a book or movie. Infact each time Ive come to this park its very much like a pleasant scene from a story.

Nice city park. Has a splash pad, a basket court and a large gazebo.
