Dear Old Nat...
Spokane's Playground
Synopsis:
An illustrated account of Spokane's beloved playground that provided community, fun, and entertainment for local and regional residents from 1889 to 1968. Dear Nat offers a good number of photos of adults and kids enjoying various sports and picnics, unique entertainers, amusement attractions, advertisements, and of course kiddie and thrill rides including the famous Jack Rabbit that operated from 1920 to the park's closing in 1968.
The Dedication piece on the first page sums up the heart and true meaning of this book:
"To the hundreds of thousands of Inland Northwest residents who experienced the thrill of a ride or the serenity of a walk through Nat Park; to the families who took pleasure in a Sunday afternoon picnic; to the kids who scraped together a nickel for a trolley ride to delight in an afternoon of arcades; and to those who can still see, hear, smell, taste, and feel Nat Park - we dedicate this book. You have really lived."
