Hey friends it's Oz back again for a nature version of The Oz Files. Tonight's blog has been determined to be about Spokane area parks. What is my favorite Spokane park and why do I love it so much? Leah once again great topic and a story to be told that will knock your socks off. There are several parks around the city of Spokane and depending on what you like to do at a park your opinion may vary from mine. If you like quiet picnics and a lovely afternoon watching your kids play on the playground then maybe Manito Park is for you. If you like to play baseball or softball then maybe you will like a lot of the parks like Shadle Park, Comstock Park and Franklin Park. However those are great parks in there own right but I do have a park and a story to share and I hope you enjoy it. The park that I love most is Riverfront Park. First off there are a lot of things to do at Riverfront Park. You can feed the ducks and geese which I do on occasion and we will go back to that in a minute when I talk about a childhood experience. The Imax Theatre is in the park and you have rides and mini golf and ice skating rink. Also big events come to the park pig out at the park which brings in mega bank for the city and a lot of good food and entertainment. The entertainment isn't that great but people enjoy it none the less. Other events include July 4Th fireworks display with entertainment which is a huge family event good times had by all for sure. Bloomsday and Hoopfest always end up in the park those are two huge events. Way back in 1974 Riverfront Park was host to the Expo which to this day is the smallest city to ever host an expo. Also Riverfront Park is downtown by a lot of restaurants and by Riverpark Square Mall. As I say it's all about location, location, location. When I was younger my mom and my aunt took me to the park to feed the ducks and the geese and most times the seagulls like to steal the food they are such brats. I feed them bread and throw it in the blue stuff that is better known as water! Well my mom told me when I was younger we went down there and I fed the ducks and I somehow found a way to fall in the blue stuff! I guess someone was able to get me out because I sit here before you today. One of my great specialities is falling down and that sort of thing so that may not shock Leah would it? What is your favorite park in Spokane? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!
