Spokane, WASH. — Nearly three years after it was approved, Spokane Parks and Recreation says the downtown zipline should be up and running by late summer or early fall.
The city says, “Spokane Skylines will be an exhilarating 1,400’ urban zipline that promises an unforgettable journey through history, nature and pure adrenaline, from a perspective that’s never been possible before.”
The zipline boards from the Place of Truths Plaza behind City Hall, and runs west along the south side of the Spokane River banks under the southern main arch of the Monroe Street Bridge. It ends at Redband Park within Peaceful Valley.
In 2023, local company Mica Moon was selected through a competitive bid process to fully fund, build, operate, and maintain the zipline on City property. Parks staff says the project has worked its way through outreach, feasibility, design, and permitting, and will begin construction in May.
“These projects are really about enhancing what’s already here,” said Drew Stewart, CEO of Mica Moon. “Riverfront Park is one of the most unique and historic places in Spokane. If we can help people experience more of it, more comfortably, and with a deeper understanding of its history—that’s a win for everyone.”
“It’s exciting to welcome a new anchor attraction near Riverfront Park downtown, connecting people to one of the most incredible views of the river through an exhilarating zipline,” said Garrett Jones, City of Spokane Parks & Recreation. “And, the addition of a park-wide shuttle service improves access to all corners of Riverfront. These concepts were envisioned in the Riverfront Park Master Plan as positive activations, and it’s fulfilling to see local operators Mica Moon bring them to life.”
The city says the zipline is fully funded by Mica Moon and won’t use City or Parks funds, and it will generate permit revenue for Parks & Recreation.
“We designed Spokane Skylines with two side-by-side cables because the best adventures are shared ones,” said Stewart. “Whether it’s parents with kids, friends, or couples, this experience brings people together while showcasing the natural beauty that makes Spokane extraordinary.”
An exact opening date, hours of operation, and pricing will be finalized as construction nears completion later this summer or fall.
Under the agreement with the City, Mica Moon will provide 1,000 tickets annually to charitable organizations and underserved youth.
