Manito is the best park in Spokane in my opinion. Great place for the family. Theres a Japanese garden with a coy fish pond thats beautiful. Theres a manmade pond with swans and geese and ducks. Theres a playground, trails and a HUGE beautiful garden full of all different types of flowers. Here in Spokane and Spokane Valley theres a few rock painting groups that paint and hide rocks or people just go and find them, anyhow, myself and my kiddos do both and this is a good park to hide and find these rocks as well. Super fun!

Pretty remarkable that the feel of the Park is the same given all the changes over the years - such a great city park. Make sure you give the carousel a shot... it’s fun for all ages. If you’re lucky you may get a golden ring :)!!!

Absolutely breathtaking. My wife and I have been in the greater Spokane area for about a year and a half now and we couldn’t believe it took us so long to stumble upon this little slice of heaven. We parked pretty far from the entrance and so we got to take a nice long walk around the duck pond up and through the rose gardens, and when we found the big courtyard, we were amazed. Our only complaint was that we waited until after the first snow of the year to find it! We plan on taking many walks throughout this grand park when spring rolls back around.

The Rose Garden is beautiful right now. I recently moved back after 17yrs being gone and I was very sad to see how yucky the water looks. But still a peaceful and otherwise beautiful place to go sit and reflect.

Always beautiful! I love the rose garden the most but the whole park is so amazing! 7/10/20 about 75% of people were wearing masks. Not required if you can social distance but there were a lot of people on the paths and trails. A great place to be!

Gorgeous! I loved it and my kids did too. Great peaceful place to enjoy the flowers and walking trails. We will definitely be coming back with more time to explore

I have kids ages 1-13 and this place is fun for all of them. Plenty of toys, places to run around and hide, ponds and cool gardens. There are bathrooms available and they keep the park pretty clean all year round.

Best park in Spokane and its vast, but since thats no secret theres always a lot of people visiting it. Lots of dogs, people running and couples strolling. Its a great neighborhood too and most everyone there is super nice. Just busy is all. My dog loves it because theres a ton of squirrels, kids, fowl and other dogs. Plus everyone picks up their dogs poo, so its a really clean spot.

Been coming here for years! My parents were married here! Its become somewhat of a family tradition fond memories from a lifetime of visitation! Absolutely love this place!

I feel so fortunate to have such a beautiful park so close! It really feels like multiple parks, with the perennial garden, the Duncan garden, the Japanese garden, the lilac garden, and rose hill. Other highlights include playgrounds, mirror pond, and the Gaiser conservatory. Ive lived in several big cities and can say that this is an incredible park for a city of Spokanes size.

Really enjoyed the 2 kids parks (one on the north side and one on the south side). All the gardens that were open were also very beautiful. Lots of places to sit and watch or picnic, as we did, and theres even a little snack shack but its on the pricier side. We got 3 bottled sodas and a black coffee for about $15. Lots of walking trails, places to play soccer or whatever and even a large pond to bird/fish watch. We were bummed to see the Japanese garden and green house closed.

Visited in early October and the roses were in full bloom and a wonderful partly cloudy made for a phenomenal sunset

One of the best parks in Spokane. If you’re looking to see beautiful garden or visit the infamous Japanese garden and then you come to the right place.

One of my favorite parks in Spokane. Very beautiful and well maintained in any season. I highly recommend this park to anyone in the Spokane area.

What a gem for this city! Large park with distinct garden areas filled with beautiful specimens. Strolled through Rose Hill, the Perennial Garden, Duncan Garden, and more. Wished the Japanese Garden had been open, but overall this is a must stop for lovers of flowers and natural beauty.

As always beautiful!!! Be aware Gaiser Conservatory is closed due to Covid and the Japanese Garden will be closed until fall 2020 for construction. Rose garden, Duncan garden, perennial gardens, etc are still open and lovely to wander around. Went mid week and in late morning and was easy to social distance and still enjoy the beautiful park! So many beautiful flowers and gardens!

With covid, it seems like the park is even busier than usual -- people having picnics on the grass surrounded by the flowers --- lots of families with little kiddos having pictures taken. It was very relaxing and pleasant. Wonderful and beautiful atmosphere with copious places to sit and enjoy the sights and smells of the gardens, all while maintaining social distancing without any hassle. Just missing the live music they often have on a Friday evening.

Such a massive and beautiful park. With full amenities such as the cafe and kids parks and beautiful pond. All sorts of hills and small detour trails. The rose garden was amazing and full bloom, my family loved everything this park had to give. Another huge plus is Super dog friendly to include everyone there seemed to like everyone, everyone had a smile and waved.

The Japanese Garden and Gaiser Conservatory were closed due to Covid and the Duncan Garden flower beds were being cleared but it was still worth a visit. Duncan Garden the highlight a beautiful formal garden with swan fountain.

What a beautiful park. So much to see and do. Loved the flower gardens everywhere.

Beautiful as always. Nice upkeep. Only real issue the bathrooms are locked and they have portables. Not really sanitized.. especially for the pandemic Corona 19 virus.

The best park even ever been to... And our new favorite date place. This part is enormous and its got all kinds of places to explore, making each time we visit a whole new kind of special ️ (just remember where you park)

Beautiful and peaceful. Could see weddings happening here! And mystery see the rose garden and the Dahlias.

Great flowers as well as trails throughout. Lots of space for walking or biking. This park is a must see if you live in Spokane or are driving through.

A beautiful peaceful place to relax and recharge surrounded by magnificent colors and smells of natures glorious flowers.

It’s nice, specially the roses park. The botanical garden was closed due to COVID and I was there when the smoke covered Spokane so I didn’t get to see the whole park :(

This is a nice park, Beautiful different dedicated areas. The roses are probably my favorite. They have them named, I had fun looking at all the different names.

Such a fun family experience! We were in town visiting from Utah and we saw this park online. It was a very hot day, but still worth it to come visit the park. There is so much to do and see! We loved the Japanese gardens and the flower gardens the most. We will definitely go back next time we are in Spokane!

I absolutely love manito park! Im 43 years old and Ive been coming here since I was a newborn. Ive been taking my children here since they were in their mothers belly. Im so grateful for the beautiful well-maintained parts in Spokane! Thank you!

Beautiful park to stroll. Absolutely gorgeous gardens!

My favorite part about Manito Park is that it is BEAUTIFUL -- no matter the time of year you go. There are excellent features: A reflecting pond (no swimming!), an awesome playground for the kids next to a great hill to sled down in the winter, the Nishinomiya Japanese Garden, as well as the English garden. While there are many more cool things I could list about this park, you should just go discover them yourself on Manito Parks beautiful, winding forest pathways. I wish I could have gotten more pictures, but heres one I took of a gorgeous weeping willow next to the playground.

Great place to take the family and enjoy a picnic or just see the flowers, or enjoy the fish and birds. Leash your dog please, there are others in the park. There are doggy poop bags, please use them.

Beautiful park! Lots to see and learn.

One of my favorite parks. Great place to take pictures, walk around and enjoy outside nature. Well taken park and always have parking available either in the park or out by the curb.

Fantastic park. During the spring/summertime when the foliage is in bloom is a sight to see. Wintertime with snow on the ground is also quite beautiful.

I loved all the gardens. Ive never seen so many flowers in my whole life!

Beautiful, meticulous, sort of a really special place where you can walk to Japanese Garden, go into the Greenhouse, walk among the flowers - roses, irises, and everything you can imagine. One of the more beautiful parks I’ve been to. Get a book and a blanket and go sit under the trees - so many options.

Some beautiful gardens very peaceful and quiet. A place you can find some serenity and tranquil.

Flowers where not yet in bloom but still such a beautiful park! It was clean and it was nice to see so many people with there dogs! Definitely recommend visiting!

What a beautiful park! The city of Spokane is so fortunate to have a place like this. We visited the Japanese garden and enjoyed the quiet beauty of the koi pond and waterfall. We also went to the perennial garden and the Rose garden. I wish we had more time to enjoy this place as we didnt even get close to seeing it all!

Absolutely gorgeous park with amazing rose garden. Great place for the whole family to spend the afternoon, and bring your dog!

Great place for the family, and yourself. Fun place to go ride bikes,or walks, and look at the lilacs, or rose garden. Grab a lunch and have a fun picnic.

A delightful departure from the city, in the city. Acres of stunning and well maintained beauty. We did not have time to see the entire park but did see both the Nishinomiya-Tsutakawa Japanese Garden, Rose Hill, and the Perennial Garden. Need some ideas for your yard? Visit both gardens. The Japanese Garden has rules and but once you are inside it was quick to realize they are not needed as it puts you in a sedate state of mind just being there. Reflecting pool with Koi can be mesmerizing and the waterfall very calming.

With the lock down of Chovid 19 and having to run post lock down with a smaller staff. The garden is beautiful. The Japanese garden reminded me of Versaille. Beautiful smells and colors. My children loved the playgrounds.

This place is beautiful and huge, ot has amazing picturesque views and has a very relaxed and fun atmosphere with things to do for all ages. It is also a fantastic place for a picnic and offers many areas for peace and relaxation

Free. Beautifully maintained gardens in the heart of Spokane

I used to love it more when we had less people, but it is good escape during the pandemic. Incredible park courtesy of the Olmsted brothers who did Central Park, Golden Gate Park.....

This is a fantastic park and Rose Hill is well worth your time.

Such an amazing park! So many trails and flowers to explore.

When I was little I used to live there its a gorgeous Park the koi fish pond the Japanese garden and just every bit of it was a lovely experience the greenhouse was great and its really peaceful and allows a lot of serenity I do suggest going to Manito Park

I missed this place so much!!! Just little depressed with the Japanese garden and the terrariums being closed. Beautiful flowers were still around though.

Manito is one of my favorite places to go during all seasons. Lilacs in the spring, Dahlias in the summer. Winter is beautiful. One of my favorite places to go!

Just beautiful. Go early if you want unobstructed photos. Very popular and for a good reason...amazing.

Omg the smell the fish the peaceful atmosphere I luv it not to mention the beautiful Roses that all have names and the sun dial is gorgeous!

Amazing gardens. Rose garden should be in bloom in a few weeks. Great place for kids and walking your dog.

My favorite park, love the nature there. Used to live in Spokane and we would go there almost every weekend, now I have to travel, two hour drive and I still go there sometimes. Best place for photography.

Was only able to visit 3 gardens as we ran out of time. The 3 that we saw were awesome!!!

Has an incredible greenhouse in addition to the outdoor goodies, all kinds flowers in season pond Japanese Gardens, and lotsa lotss grass to have fun on and even tennis courts

Pond landscaping complete. Looks nice. Many of the ducks and geese left but theyll be back. Very relaxing.

Peaceful outdoor activity with my grandchildren. We critiqued the quality of gardening, mowing, and designs. Fun afternoon

A vast and beautiful park that invites exploration. The park makes good use of its unique topography by incorporating geology into its landscape.

Manito Park is a beautiful place to visit. A true gem of a public space. The rehab on the duck pond is not quite finished, and once it is, it will undoubtedly be lovely for a leisurely stroll. A gentle reminder to those who visit, please dispose of your trash. I find it disheartening that there are some who wont take the initiative to use the trash receptacles provided.

One of my favorite parks in Spokane. Japanese gardens is currently closed due to Corona Im guessing but the rose garden and Duncan gardens and most of the park is still open. Plus they opened an icecream shop. Too bad Im on a diet lol no icecream for me but it smells delicious when you walk by

What an awesome day. Thank you Keri and Adam for taking us up there.

Had my wedding pictures taken here. Just lovely scenery and breathtaking views.

So much beauty, lots to see for all ages.

Manito Park is Spokane’s pride and joy!! It’s a famous park, like Spokane’s Central Park! They have many different gardens to visit depending on the time of year. Make sure to visit Manito Park year round in each season and in the summer they have live concerts in the park every Friday I believe.Also if you have children make sure to visit the lower playground near the duck pond as well as the upper playground and splash pad in the summer near upper Manito by the kickball fields! And make sure to bring a stroller or carrier for little ones, it’s a big park! Don’t forget a picnic;) Enjoy!!

Great park with open areas, multiple gardens, playgrounds, small greenhouse conservatory, short walking trails and occassional events. There are a few surface parking lots on different ends of the park. Very well maintained grounds. There is a snack bar open during the warmer months. Duncan garden and rose gardens are beautiful in the summer. Definitely worth a visit.

Had a great time. Enjoyed all the flowers loved the fountain

Mirror pond is looking better, Ben and Jerrys ice cream wasgreat. Duncan gardens beautiful! Always a place I go to slow down and enjoy!

I visited this fabulous place with my 3 grandgirls last weekend. The plants are just beautiful. With the lights theres an indescribable glow. Theres water trickling down waterfalls, lights and incredible decor. Plus, its free. Dont miss this exhibit when youre in Spokane!

A staple, one of Spokanes best features is Manito Park. On the South Hill just off Grand Boulevard, it features the Duncan Gardens and Greenhouse, the newly renovated Duck Pond, Sister City Nishanomya Japanese Garden and the Rose Garden. One of Spokanes oldest parks, it deserves your time and your visit.

Great gardens. peaceful park. great for everyone

A perfect place to witness the splendor of the change of seasons in Spokane. Plants are well labeled, which makes the experience a learning experience.as well.

Excelente place for relaxed

Really beautiful place...nice place for a walk

Beautiful park with a little bit of everything! A variety of trails, paved and unpaved, easy to high grade. There is a pond where you can watch ducks (dont feed them or it will pollute the water), playground, flower garden with fountains, public restrooms, ADA parking. You could come here multiple times and see different parts everytime.

Love the flowers and the calmness of area. Too bad the fountain wasnt on. Would have been perfect.

Nice to take the kids for a walk flowers blooming it was very pretty

Fun! Lots of vegetation. Nice place to walk with someone you like.

Everyone who lives in Spokane should go to manito, its a great place where you feel safe and its so good to bring your kids, cats or dogs and the open area makes it great for sledding in the winter

Beautiful and so clean and peaceful!! Perfect to take the kids! Loved it.

Great place to hike, relax, or enjoy its many lovely gardens. From a atrium full of different fauna to a Japanese garden. Also with 2 parks for the kids to get some energy. A great park in South Hill with a lot to offer. Kick back and relax.

Beautiful large park. Great walking paths. Nice duck pond.

Manito Park is the premier Spokane Park. Many unique sites and things to see. Rose garden, Japanese garden and Duck and Goose Pond among them. Of course picnics and family games and activities ..

Stunning. Breathtaking. A jewel. Must see. Must go often.

Nice walk. Rent a scooter. It is handicap accessible and appropriate for all ages.

What an awesome park! My kid loved the fountain and flowers. Theres also a really cool pond with ducks. Dont miss out on the Japanese Gardens either!

Very fun experience seeing the lights, but we will plan on going much earlier next time. We almost didnt make the cut off to get in! Fantastic date idea: go get hot coco and then take her to see the flowers... Tip for Manito, bring in a food truck that sells hot beverages, youll make a killing and get better donations.

Great park. Visit it often with my 9 year old.

Its a nice local park. As a tourist, I didnt think it was anything amazing, except maybe the rose garden. That was pretty beautiful.

This is a beautiful place in the heart of Spokane. The conservatory is worth visiting for any nature lover. It has plants from all over the world. And you can see variety of cactus which is mesmerizing. The Duncan garden in front of it is so well maintained that you will fall in love with it. Lots of space for kids to play and adults to roam around.Lots of parking space too.In love with it !!

Great Japanese Gardens, pond, picnic areas. Wildlife, big areas to walk in and enjoy this gem of a park in the middle of a quiet neighborhood.

Cool park with a lot of free stuff to do. There is a greenhouse with cactus to see, roses, flowers, squirrels running around everywhere and even got to pet the cutest and most cuddly cat at the park!

So much to do here and easily keep space from others. Cant wait for the Japanese gardens to open again!

Good place to take my son. Lots for him to do.

I absolutely love Manito Park! The park has several different kinds of gardens, a Greenhouse that have succulents and cacti that are in my pictures, koi pond, and hundreds and hundreds of roses in the spring and summer. Its a beautiful place to just walk around or take pictures, and its really well taken care of.

Absolutely gorgeous park...actually several parks in one. We spent a couple hours walking through the Japanese garden, rose garden, conservatory and around the grounds. There is also an Italian type garden...just lovely. Highly recommend it!

This place is absolutely perfect.

Nice park with gardens, one of which has a very pretty gazebo. Great location for doing photos. Nice walking areas as well.
