Boise Parks and Recreation is all about fun—but you can be sure that behind every great park, every exciting playground, every healthy and rewarding recreation program stands a tremendous amount of careful, detailed planning. It begins with asking our residents what they need and desire in a new facility or program, and then using the best designers, builders, and parks professionals to bring that wish list to life.

Right now, we’re seeing the exciting results of this process in several landmark local projects in various stages of completion.

Already open and attracting big crowds is the revamped Rhodes Skate Park, which for two decades has been a favorite of local skateboarders but recently had begun to show its age. Thanks to a $1.25 million gift from the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation, $300,000 from the City of Boise, and loads of input and enthusiasm from the Boise Skateboard Association, the park during the past year received a major makeover that puts it in the top ranks of skating destinations in the Pacific Northwest.

Still on the drawing boards is the second phase of the Boise River Park, which has already made big waves across the West as a premier whitewater recreation spot.

Again, the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation deserves applause for the $3.5 million grant (matched by the City) that will result in the addition of three new play waves and a slalom course as well as improved river access, river hazard removal, floodway improvements, river access from Veterans Pond, and—for those like me whose surfing and kayaking days are behind them—an additional spectator plaza. Construction will begin in 2017, with the park scheduled to open in 2019.

Just west of the Boise River Park, the long-awaited Esther Simplot Park is taking shape in spectacular fashion. The J.R. Simplot Foundation is funding construction; when finished, the park will be unlike any other in Boise—or anywhere else. It will feature with 55 acres of open space; 23 acres of ponds for fishing, swimming, and other water activities; a meandering stream connecting the park’s two ponds with adjacent Quinn’s Pond; and a full range of trails, playgrounds, picnic shelters, and other amenities.

All three of these projects are helping to spur economic revitalization in the West End of Downtown. And they’re not usual; many other parks projects are in the works throughout Boise, providing outstanding recreation opportunities while also greatly enhancing the livability in their respective neighborhoods.

That’s what I call good planning. And good fun.

ADULT ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION WILDERNESS SAFETY AND SURVIVAL SERIES

“For a naturalist to be successful, it is crucial at the outset to establish awareness and observation skills. An accomplished naturalist sees the world in a unique way – as a mosaic of ecosystems filled with interesting individual organisms, species, and populations, and communities of life. In the field, a naturalist is at home, alert to sounds, movements, tracks, a feather or piece of fur – able to take in all the information and shreds of evidence the environment has to offer and then focus on a plant or animal. Even in a fleeting glimpse, the naturalist knows much about that individual and its unique role in the environment.” – Ray Vizgirdas

SAFETY AND SURVIVAL/BEING A NATURALIST

Join Ray Vizgirdas for a day out in the field learning naturalist and wilderness survival skills and dealing with the “what if I get lost in Idaho’s mountainous backcountry with nothing” scenario. This class, taught from a naturalist perspective, will provide you with some of the essential knowledge and situational awareness skills necessary to make difficult decisions when modern equipment and resources are not available. In other words, what are natural resources around me and how can I use them to ensure my survival. This course is a mix of discussions and hands-on activities, so be prepared for non-stop action! The information varies with season and location.

This workshop is limited to 12 participants. An information packet will be sent out about a week prior detailing what you should bring, where we will be meeting, and more. Participants should be physically capable of walking on and off trail at elevations of about 7,000 feet.

FIELD GUIDE TO BOISE’S BIRDS

Birds can be found in just about every setting within the city, from urban microparks to the sprawling foothills that border our northeastern edge.

They visit backyard feeders, perch in low shrubs and on tall structures, swim in our river, lakes, and ponds, nest in our trees and soar overhead. A variety of habitats in and around the city support and attract hundreds of species, and we invite you to explore some of those that are most common.

The Field Guide to Boise’s Birds is a hit, and is available for free online. A printed version is also available for purchase at the Boise Parks & Recreation Administration Office, at a cost of $8.00 plus tax.

Fall is an amazing time of year in Boise’s parks, with trees awash in color with autumn leaves.

However, the amazing colors come at a price. The leaves fall and we end up having quite a mess on our hands. As such, we would like to invite you to participate in the 2016 Rake our Parks event, which helps us clean up the huge amount of leaves that fall. You can form your own team, or be teamed up with other volunteers and go out and help rake the leaves in one of our beautiful parks.

NATURE GUIDE FOR BOISE’S PARKS

DECK OUT THE DEPOT DECEMBER 4, 2016

Thanks to our dedicated and knowledgeable staff and volunteers, we are excited to offer a variety of park and facility tours throughout the year. These range from historical tours of some of Boise’s oldest and unique facilities to tours that engage you in a park’s natural environment.

Boise Depot: Learn the rich history of this iconic landmark and get an up-close look at Big Mike, a 1920-built steam locomotive. Boise Depot tours include an elevator ride to the top of the 96-foot bell tower, and are available the first Sunday of each month.

Cemetery Tours: Join us for a walking tour of Boise’s historic Morris Hill and Pioneer Cemeteries and learn the history of the people interred there.

Cemetery tours highlight some of the symbolism, customs and lore associated with final resting places. Tour dates are announced when determined and registration is required.

Tree Walks: Boise Community Forestry provides a series of self-guided tree walks, for you to learn about the variety of trees in Boise’s parks. Each tree walk contains basic tree descriptions, including the common and botanical names, the size of an average full-grown healthy tree and the ability for the species to adapt to different soil and site conditions. Guided group tours may be requested, and will be accommodated depending on staff/volunteer availability.

Nature Tours: Take a “Walk on the Wild Side” with us as we explore two of our most popular parks, Kathryn Albertson Park and the Hyatt Hidden Lakes Reserve. These tours highlight each park’s plants and wildlife in an educational presentation that features a peaceful setting and frequent animal encounters. Guided group tours may be requested, and will be accommodated depending on staff/volunteer availability.

Help us celebrate the holiday season by decking the halls at the historic Boise Depot! Festive volunteers are needed to help dress the Depot and surrounding grounds in its holiday best.

Volunteers will help string lights and set up Christmas trees for the community to enjoy during the holiday season. So gather your winter coats, mittens, stocking caps, and bring your holiday cheer!

PARK AMBASSADORS

Park Ambassadors promote community stewardship and educate park users at Boise’s most popular parks. As a participant, you will be given all the tools and training you need to share useful information and foster greater appreciation for the historic and natural significance of our parks.

ADOPT-A-PARK

Groups can make a year-long commitment to help us maintain one of Boise’s many parks.

Some of the tasks include removing graffiti, picking up litter, filling “mutt mitt” dispensers, painting site amenities, raking leaves, mulching trees, and refurbishing picnic tables. In exchange, the Department recognizes adopting groups via signage in the park.

SERVICE PROJECTS

Service projects can be scheduled throughout the season. These are typically one-time efforts that range from 3 to 5 hours, depending on location and group size. Common projects include park spruce-ups, tree mulching, amenity painting and repair, trash pick-up, and tree wrapping.

BOISE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

ADULT ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION WILDERNESS SAFETY AND SURVIVAL SERIES

“For a naturalist to be successful, it is crucial at the outset to establish awareness and observation skills. An accomplished naturalist sees the world in a unique way – as a mosaic of ecosystems filled with interesting individual organisms, species, and populations, and communities of life. In the field, a naturalist is at home, alert to sounds, movements, tracks, a feather or piece of fur – able to take in all the information and shreds of evidence the environment has to offer and then focus on a plant or animal. Even in a fleeting glimpse, the naturalist knows much about that individual and its unique role in the environment.” – Ray Vizgirdas

SAFETY AND SURVIVAL/BEING A NATURALIST Join Ray Vizgirdas for a day out in the field learning naturalist and wilderness survival skills and dealing with the “what if I get lost in Idaho’s mountainous backcountry with nothing” scenario. This class, taught from a naturalist perspective, will provide you with some of the essential knowledge and situational awareness skills necessary to make difficult decisions when modern equipment and resources are not available. In other words, what are natural resources around me and how can I use them to ensure my survival. This course is a mix of discussions and hands-on activities, so be prepared for non-stop action! The information varies with season and location. This workshop is limited to 12 participants. An information packet will be sent out about a week prior detailing what you should bring, where we will be meeting, and more. Participants should be physically capable of walking on and off trail at elevations of about 7,000 feet.

SPECIAL EVENTS SHAKESPEARE’S FIRST FOLIO AUGUST 20–SEPTEMBER 21

Boise State University’s Yanke Family Research Park, Arts & Humanities Institute Gallery In celebration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s 1616 death, the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. has arranged the ultimate book tour. First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare is stopping in each state for a limited time. Without the Folio, we would very likely have only half of Shakespeare’s works—it contains 36 plays and one of only two likenesses of Shakespeare considered “authentic.“ The Library is pleased to partner with BSU and other local organizations in supporting the exhibit. Visit the Albertsons Library First Folio! website at http://archives.boisestate.edu/ shakespeare2016/ for details about the exhibit and related events.

BOISE DEPOT

a venue as unique as you are

BOISE DEPOT

The Boise Depot is a unique venue for weddings, parties and corporate parties and fundraising events. A beautiful historic Spanish-style structure operated by the Boise Parks & Recreation Department, the Depot was opened in 1925 to elaborate fanfare in the capital city. The former Union Pacific passenger train station can accommodate 300 maximum occupancy; 165 for sit-down events.

Depot amenities include The Great Hall, a 3,542-square-foot space with a soaring multistory atrium. The Great Hall once served as the building’s waiting room. The original 1925 Barkalow Brothers Newsstand is featured on the west wall. The wood and glass newsstand has been slightly restored but remains in its original form.

With a splendid panoramic view of the Boise Front, the grounds include Platt Gardens, a lovely park with pathways, a gazebo and ponds.

The Great Hall may be scheduled 11 months in advanced (12:01 a.m. on the 1st Day of the 11th month).
