The Spokane Parks Foundation‘s Make-A-Splash in a Kid’s Life program provides swimming opportunities to kids throughout Spokane County. This program is funded by generous donations from the community. The event in July 2019 at the Hillyard Aquatic Center provided a free-admission swim night and all in attendance received a bag of food.
"You're only one swim away from a good mood."

My little swimmers enjoying the pool!
COPS Mounted Patrol Unit – Spokane COPS
The COPS Mounted Patrol Unit made an appearance at this event to let the kids interact with their horse Finnegan. They come to community events to talk to kids about crime prevention and letting the Spokane-area know that they care enough to get involved locally.
Really enjoying the waterslides!
