The Children of the Sun Trail is a paved, multi-use path in Spokane, Washington, designed for cyclists, pedestrians, and other non-motorized users. It runs parallel to the North Spokane Corridor (US 395), stretching from Wandermere in the north to the Hillyard neighborhood, with ongoing expansions aiming to connect it further south to the Spokane River and the Centennial Trail near Spokane Community College .
This 16-foot-wide trail offers a smooth asphalt surface, accommodating various activities such as biking, walking, and jogging. The route features rolling hills and provides scenic views, making it a popular choice for both recreational users and commuters.
Beyond its recreational purpose, the trail serves as a vital connector between neighborhoods, parks, schools, and businesses. Community input has influenced its design, ensuring it meets the needs of local residents and enhances accessibility throughout the area.
Recent developments include the opening of a new two-mile section from Columbia Avenue to Wildhorse Park, with future plans to extend the trail southward, incorporating features like a pedestrian bridge over the Spokane River.
