Lions Learning Center coming to Riverfront Park

The Lions Learning Center, a dynamic new outdoor learning environment designed by Dig Studio, is one of the key new amenities planned for Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane, Washington. The project is being funded by the Spokane Central Lions Club and will transform an existing covered shelter remaining from Expo '74 into an educational environment for schools and community groups. Located on the west side of Riverfront Park, known as the jewel of Spokane, the current structure will be updated with a new roof, improved seating and tables, as well as electrical outlets for educational-related technology. With an emphasis on nature-based learning, the Lions Learning Center is envisioned as a destination for learning about Spokane history and the environment. The total project cost is estimated at $300,000 and has already received $200,000 in donations, the remaining fundraising is ongoing with in-kind labor and material donations being accepted, as well as a digital fundraising site, which can be found HERE.
