This guide has something for everyone. I’m confident all ages can find an activity to participate
in that is sure to provide a needed reprieve from the hectic world we live in. We all need healthy
down time and what better way to achieve that than experiencing a safe, affordable and accessible
program or activity provided by your Parks and Recreation Department. I’m proud to say that
our team has answered the call time and again during some of the most difficult years we’ve ever
experienced. Our community looks to us to serve and lead with wholesome programming and safe
access to facilities like parks, our beloved Boise River Greenbelt, and our cherished Ridge to Rivers
Trail System. We will continue to cherish these incredible amenities and it is truly an honor to
provide these services for everyone who calls Boise home!
