Program accomplishments

  • In 2021, the Jess Roskelley Foundation partnered with the City of Spokane to provide two unique climbing play structures for children two to twelve at Audubon Park in Spokane. The Foundation purchased the structures and had them shipped to Spokane. The City installed the features on in December 2021.
  • On April 15, 2022, the Jess Roskelley Foundation signed a pledge to Spokane County Parks to contribute $100,000 in 2025 for the children's playground climbing features planned for the County's and City of Spokane's renovation plan for John H. Shields Park in east Spokane. This is a big commitment for our small foundation, so we will be fundraising and applying for grants to cover this pledge. Spokane County has transferred responsibility to the City of Spokane to renovate Shields Park. Federal grant money and a bond issue have now been acquired as of 2026. Our foundation will contribute our pledge of $100,000 to the City of Spokane in June/July 2026.
  • In 2022, we partnered with the Columbia Basin Foundation to renovate and improve Coulee City Park on Banks Lake. We provided $5000.00 for the project, plus expertise and advice on climbing features. The Jess Roskelley Foundation is fully involved in working to raise additional funds for this park up to $50,000. As an update, due to lack of federal authorization, the climbing feature was installed in the playground at Coulee City Elementary School and the project is complete.
    grants $5,000
  • In 2023, the Jess Roskelley Foundation provided $2,035 to the City of Spokane Parks Department for additional renovation of Audubon Park to add a rock scramble at the children's play area. The renovation was scheduled for Fall of 2023 but was postponed due to the City of Spokane's financial difficulties. The rock scramble is now scheduled to be installed in spring 2024. As an update, funding was secured and the rock scramble was built and completed in September 2025.
  • In 2023, the Jess Roskelley Foundation pledged to the Under Bridge Park project in Missoula Montana $15,000. As of February 2026, we continue to correspond with the City of Missoula Park Department and will write a check as soon as the Parks Department is prepared to accept the money for the climbing feature.
