Spokane County Environmental Services is restoring wetlands at Saltese Flats. Restored wetlands in that area will provide benefits in several ways including:
- Delaying runoff to recharge the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer to increase flow in the Spokane River during late summer months
- Restoring a diverse wildlife habitat
- Providing a community resource for public access and education
- Allowing for possible future application of Class A reclaimed water
The trails are all open for public access along with two parking lots: one on the west side and one on the northeast side.
Opening April 2023...the Doris Morrison Learning Center (DMLC)! The DMLC is under construction at the north end of the wetland and will be a meeting place with space that will be reservable for school field trips and other educational events.
