Shadle Park High School will receive a new all-weather football/soccer field with lights, along with a new baseball infield and dugout. Construction is expected to take place from June through early fall 2026.
The improvements are intended to serve both students and the broader community. Across Spokane, demand for youth, adult and senior recreation programs has exceeded available field space, especially in spring and fall when grass fields can be too wet for consistent use.
All-weather turf will help extend the playing season, reduce weather-related closures and provide a smoother, more consistent playing surface. Focused LED lighting will also allow for expanded evening use while directing light downward to minimize spillover.
Together, Spokane’s broader field plan will eventually create at least one all-weather rectangular multi-sport field with lights and one turf baseball or softball infield within each of the five high school boundary areas for public use.
