Things to do in Cheney / Spokane for 1st time visitor? Cheney is pretty small, and there isn't much to do. But if you have time, look at their fitness center. Great facility with an ice rink. Spokane has Manito Park in the South Hill neighborhood and Riverfront Park downtown. If you have time it's worth crossing the border and visiting Coeur d'Alene, Beautiful lake, and Hudson's on Sherman Avenue across from the resort has the best burgers. But carry cash, they don't take credit/debit cards, and no fries.
