An outskirt town turned suburb
Motorists on West 9 Mile Road might quickly cruise by Balboa/South Indian Trail on their way to Spokane, but it’s more than just a pass-through neighborhood. “We’re seeing a transitionary period right now,” says Christopher Savage, the former Community Assembly Representative for Balboa/South Indian Trail. “There used to be more older residents, but it’s becoming more suburban as newer families of 3 or 4 are starting to move in.” This family-friendly development can be seen through the area’s well-rated public schools and convenient access to a few small parks. And with downtown Spokane just a 6-mile drive away, there are outdoor adventures and dining options for every palate. “We’re the kind of people that wave when we go by. It’s a welcoming place to live,” Savage adds.
Salk Middle school is newly renovated and sits at the entrance of the Indian Trail neighborhood.
The Indian Trail park features a fun play structure.

Trail walks at Wyakin and Riverside
Some of the community's best green spaces are located within the neighborhood, such as the 27-acre Wyakin Park. “It’s more of a rugged park with trails and scenic overlooks off the beaten path,” Savage says. “People also go to the playgrounds and fields that are connected to Balboa Elementary and Salk Middle.” Residents can easily access the 40-mile wooded and paved Centennial Trail that follows the Spokane River via the Wilbur Trailhead entrance just west of West 9 Mile Road. Also nearby is the Dwight Merkel Sports Complex, offering outdoor athletic fields and courts, and areas including the Carson Park playground and splash pad and Joe Albi Skatepark. “A lot of people walk their dogs or ride their bikes through the trails at Riverside State Park,” Savage adds.
