Manito Park Zoo (Photographs)

Manito Park ZooManito Park formed the core of a 1904 residential development on Spokane's South Hill. Soon after, the city's new Board of Park Commissioners hired the Olmsted Brothers to create a comprehensive plan for Spokane parks, playgrounds, and parkways. At the time, Manito Park included a duck pond, tennis courts, lawn-bowling green, the Duncan gardens and greenhouse, and new paths for walking and picnicking. Another major feature was the zoo, located near where the Japanese Garden is today. |
