PIONEER COMMUNITY CENTER

Many of you, especially those with families, eagerly look forward to perusing the classes and activities listed in this book to choose everything from art camps and Zumba classes to nature walks and bingo nights.

That’s because the City of Boise’s Parks and Recreation programs – from after-school programs at school-based community centers to classes and activities for seniors – have perhaps the broadest reach of all our low-cost, no-cost services.

Soon, software upgrades to the Parks and Recreation registration page will make searching, registering and paying for activities, leagues and park sites easier, faster and more convenient. The changes will make registering from your mobile a breeze and allow us to update our process in ways that will be a refreshing change to those who use our services.

These changes are part of a much larger citizen experience initiative at the City of Boise in which we are leveraging new customerfocused technology, best practices and upgraded facilities to improve, modernize, consolidate and streamline your interaction with your city government.

We recognize that in today’s fast-paced world, you rely on technology to help manage your and your family’s busy lives.

Engaging with your city government should be no different – even if it’s just to sign up for your softball league. Our investment in this new technology will help ensure that we keep up with how you want to engage with us.

FALL 2018

New this year, we are so proud to present the Max Pham Hip Hop Fund! $5.00 of every hip hop registration will be paid for through the generous donations and workshops provided to our community by Max Pham himself. Max sees the value in dance, hip hop in particular, and the value in community support for everyone regardless of socio-economic background.

Please take a moment to read Max’s remarkable story. For more information or to donate, contact Clay Lee 208-608-7684.

Max Pham is just a kid from Boise, who with the support of this community and hard work has achieved success in dance on a global scale! Having started dancing recreationally in high school, Max realized that there was not a lot of resources to explore what dance could do for a young adolescent male in Boise. Max discovered Fort Boise Community Center and Friday Teen Night where he could use a dance room to continue working on his craft. Since then Max has built a resume full or award shows and live appearances ranging from Super Bowl LII to the Billboard Awards, American Music Awards, and Grammy’s. His most significant work has been his multiple international tours with Justin Timberlake and Ariana Grande.

HIP HOP

Hip Hop is a fun high energy dance style that will have everyone up and moving! Music is fun and hip but age appropriate. Come ready to move and learn some cool new moves. Classes are great exercise and great fun!

It does have hundreds of bird species that can only be found in that part of the continent, and it has better infrastructure than some of its neighbors.

Ghana has its share of spectacular birds, such as the Violet Turaco and Standard-winged Nightjar.

It is better known for a large group of specie – greenbuls and related species – that are mostly somber in color, similar to each other, and skulky. As usual, Terry Rich will cover not only the birds, but the fascinating landscapes and people of Ghana.

• All hikes are no more than 3 miles, free, and family friendly.

Get to know your backyard as The Foothills Learning Center and Idaho Conservation League team up to offer these short hiking “tours” of City owned foothills reserves. These eleven reserves are a growing and interconnected system that provides environmental, social, health, economic and related benefits. Maybe you are already familiar with the trails, but you don’t know the history and plan for these special places. Come find out!

SEPTEMBER 21 - Mesa Reserve

Situated near the highly trafficked Table Rock area, this reserve shares several trails and provides access to open space, views, and recreation. It connects to the Ridge to Rivers trails system and the Boise Greenbelt in three different locations. Join us as we take a spring walk through the fantastic geological features and terrain!

OCTOBER 19 - Hulls Gulch Reserve

The majority of this reserve was acquired through a citizen effort from 1991 to 1993, and many acres through citizen grassroots fundraising efforts. Home to the Jim Hall Foothills Learning Center, this reserve connects many other reserves and public lands. Join ICL and the City of Boise as we take a hike and talk about management solutions on this heavily used reserve!

NOVEMBER 16 - Hillside to the Hollow Reserve

Revered for its abundance of trails, views into Boise and unique experiences such as steep trails and large off-leash areas. 317 acres total, the City of Boise owns 258 acres, with the Land Trust of the Treasure Valley (LTTV) owning 59 acres. Join us for a hike on the all-weather trail and hear how LTTV acquired this property!

FOOTHILLS LEARNING CENTER SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS AND LESSONS

Whether you want to learn something new or get your hands dirty with us, we offer lots of ways to go beyond passive enjoyment of the Boise park system. From individuals and families to classrooms and corporations, there’s something for everyone. Browse our upcoming programs and feel free to get in contact with us. We’d love to hear from you!

RAKE OUR PARKS NOVEMBER 17

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 help us clean up the huge amount of leaves that drop in Boise’s parks. You can form your own team, or be teamed up with other volunteers.

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 DEPOT

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 and 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 multi-story 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).
