What’s new MAYOR’S MESSAGE

A Season of Change, in a Year of Progress There isn’t a bad time of year in Boise. Every season brings beauty and opportunity all its own.

But I have to admit that I like fall the best. That color-filled transition between the long, warm days of summer and the brisk, frost-covered weeks of winter puts everything there is to love about the “City of Trees” into gorgeous relief. No wonder that autumn is one of the busiest times of year for City-sponsored activities—as the jam-packed guide you’re holding clearly demonstrates.

These offerings follow on the heels of several major projects, both announced and completed, that will expand the menu of activities even more going forward. Some examples: Work is under way on a major upgrade to Rhodes Skatepark, west of the Linen District under the connector. The makeover, the product of a new community partnership and a $1.25 million gift from the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation, will make Rhodes a premier Northwest skating destination.

The 55-acre Esther Simplot Park, adjacent to the Boise River Whitewater Park west of downtown, continues to take shape. The project will create 17 acres of ponds, beaches, a playground, and a pathway through a natural wetlands area.

Construction is expected to begin this fall on Molenaar Diamond Park on Maple Grove Road in West Boise. The first phase of work on the 20-acre park will include a pond, trees, irrigation, a parking lot, and open grassy areas with three designated soccer fields. Completion is scheduled for 2016.

The City’s purchase of 200 acres from the Idaho Humane Society will create better trail connections across a huge swath of the Foothills—from Polecat Gulch in the west to Stack Rock in the east and other City-owned property along Bogus Basin Road.

And this November, Boise voters will decide whether to continue the open-space preservation efforts that began with the 2001 Foothills Serial Levy. On the ballot: a new two-year, $10 million serial levy—this one for protection of open space not only in the Foothills but also along the Boise River and throughout the city.

All of these efforts are the result not only of the diligence of City of Boise staff but also the resources and support of our many community partners and the residents we serve.

Here’s to a great fall in Boise.

Sincerely,

David H. Bieter

what’s new at BOISE PARKS & RECREATION Volunteers Needed for “Tending Our Foothills” Annual Survey Do you love the Foothills trail system? Teams are needed to conduct an annual survey of trail users who visit the Boise Foothills on Sept. 19th & 26th. Available shifts include: • 7:00-11:00 a.m.

• 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.

• 3:00-7:00 p.m.

The survey will be used in management decisions for the 130 miles of trail and thousands of acres of open space on the Boise Front.

If you have a favorite trailhead, let us know and if it’s on our list of locations, we will do our best to assign it to you.

To sign up online, please see the Volunteer page at parks.cityofboise.org or send an email to jpugh@cityofboise.org.

New Terry Day Park Playground to Open in September Kids in the Vista neighborhood will have a new place to swing and slide thanks to a new playground under construction in Terry Day Park.The new equipment includes traditional playground components, net climbers, spinners, slides and a zip line. This will be Boise city’s first playground to incorporate Poured in Place

Bonded Rubber surfacing. Wright Brothers is the contractor for the $302,316 project, which is expected to be completed Sept. 1.

Terry Day Park, 1225 S. Federal Way, was created in 2006 when Patrick O. Day donated 7 acres of land to the City of Boise in honor of his late wife, Terry Day. Park features include a gravel pathway, restroom, picnic shelter, fishing pond, tennis courts, open grassy areas, a parking lot, mature and newly planted trees, and picnic benches.

New Greenbelt Map Features Air & Repair Stations A revised Greenbelt map shows the locations of five air & repair stations located along the pathway. The stations feature tools and tire pump to keep you rolling along!

Funding was provided by the Boise Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Idaho Travel Council and the City of Boise.

To download the map, please see parks.cityofboise.org. Request a free copy by sending an email to bpr@cityofboise.org or call (208) 608-7600.

Children can learn the game of tennis using modified tennis balls and smaller courts to allow for easier learning. Balls are lower in compression: they bounce lower and don’t move as fast. This gives kids time to get to the ball and helps them develop optimal swing patterns. Racquets are sized for small hands and the courts are small and easier to cover. *No classes Thanksgiving week.

December 16 All About Snow

September...... Hoo, Hoo... Lives in Hulls Gulch? By Kristin Lundstrom & others

This presentation will take an in-depth look at all the known elements contributing to the massive decline of honey bee populations in the United States. We will also discuss what can be done to help reduce the problem and help honeybees survive. Since much of the food grown in our country and around the world relies on honeybees for pollination, this is a critically important topic for all of us as we consider the future health of agriculture and food systems both locally and globally.

Join Kerry McClay, Snow School Program Director with Winter Wildlands Alliance, and Marie Kellner, Water Associate with Idaho Conservation League, to learn all about the science of snow and how snowmelt affects our water supply in the valley. For the full ICL Adventure Series program schedule please visit: idahoconservation.org/events/hikes/2015-hiking-series

FALL 2015

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Construction on the Boise WaterShed River Campus has begun! When completed, the River Campus will house the largest collection of public art in Idaho, demonstrating the use and health of our watershed from the headwaters above Lucky Peak Dam and Reservoir to the Snake River.

Planned for completion in mid-2016, the River Campus will give our visitors a unique educational destination full of interaction, discovery, and one-of-a-kind interpretive elements along interpretive paths adjacent to the Boise WaterShed facility. If you’re planning a visit this Fall, you will find signage directing you to parking and entrance to the facility. During construction we’ll remain open to the public Monday-Friday 9:30-4:30 and every third Saturday of each month 10:00-1:00 (except September 19).
