Spokane’s Riverfront Park places paths, attractions and public spaces along the river on the former Expo ’74 grounds. The landscape connects the city center with river views and surviving fair-era landmarks.
The hand-carved Looff Carrousel adds an older layer of local history: it began operating at Natatorium Park in 1909 before becoming part of Riverfront Park. The carousel is an operated attraction within a larger public park, with its own tickets and schedule. Bridges, paths and gathering spaces support visits that do not depend on taking a ride.
