Manito Park and Botanical Gardens is a public park with arboretum, botanical gardens, and conservatory, located at 17th Ave and Grand Blvd in Spokane, Washington, USA. It is open daily without charge. ==History== The park was originally a public recreation area called Montrose Park.〔http://inlandtour.debut.net/south-hill/manito.html〕 In 1903 its name was changed to Manito, said to mean ''Spirit of Nature'' in the Algonquian language. A park commission was formed in 1907 with annual funding, and in 1913 the famed Olmsted Brothers firm completed their landscaping plans for Spokane parks, including Manito Park. The Park was at one time a zoo until 1932 when the zoo closed down because of the lack of funding during the Great Depression. Today some remnants of the zoo can still be seen, such as an iron bar sticking out of a rock that was once part of the bear cages.〔 〕
