High Bridge Park is a 200 acres (810,000 m2) public park located at Riverside Ave. and A St. in Latah/Hangman, Spokane, Washington. It is open daily, without charge.

The park is located at the lower end of the valley cut by Latah Creek, which runs along the eastern boundary of the park, just above its confluence with the Spokane River. The valley carved by the creek is crossed by three bridges carrying Interstate 90, Sunset Boulevard and a railroad. These bridges cross above the southern portion of the park.[1]

Much of the park is forested and unmaintained. There is an 18-hole disc golf course located in the northern section of the park among the trees. In the center of the park is a grass field, picnic shelter and playground.[2] High Bridge Dog Park is located across A Street in the west of the park.[3]
