The city unveiled the designs for the park, which will be located in southwest Boise, near the Boise River. The park will cover over 100 acres and will feature a variety of amenities, including: * Walking and biking trails * Picnic areas * Playgrounds * Sports fields * A dog park * A community garden * A water feature The park is designed to be a place where people of all ages can come to relax, recreate, and connect with nature. It will also provide a buffer between the developed areas of southwest Boise and the Boise River. “This park is a major investment in the future of Boise,” said Mayor David Bieter. “It will be a place where people can come to enjoy the outdoors, connect with their neighbors, and create memories that will last a lifetime.” The city is working with a team of landscape architects to design the park. The project is expected to be completed in phases, with the first phase scheduled to open in 2024. The new park is part of Boise’s long-term goal of creating a world-class park system. The city currently has over 2,000 acres of parkland, and the new park will add significantly to that total. “Boise is a city that is growing and changing,” said Parks and Recreation Director Doug Holloway. “We need to ensure that we have adequate park space to meet the needs of our residents. This new park will be a major addition to our system and will help to make Boise an even more livable city.” The city is excited to move forward with the new park project and looks forward to seeing it become a beloved destination for residents and visitors alike.
