WINTER – SPRING 2015

The High Five Children’s Health Collaborative, powered by the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health, is a statewide effort to fight childhood obesity in Idaho. (208) 608-7680 • PARKS.CITYOFBOISE.ORG

JIM HALL LEARNING WHAT’S CENTER NEW MAYOR’S MESSAGE Bloch Cancer Survivors Plaza among many winter weather attractions and activities Boiseans know that winter is no time to hibernate. The ground might be white, the temperatures below freezing. But there are still plenty of great things to do, inside and outside, during the cold-weather months. This well-insulated winter edition of the Parks & Recreation Activity Guide is proof of that. Sports, crafts, camps, classes – there’s no shortage of ways to stay in shape, stoke your creative fires, learn a new skill, and have fun. Even some of the amenities that get heaviest use in summer, like our parks and our Greenbelt, wear a different kind of coat during winter – one well worth seeing. This year, for example, visitors to Boise’s oldest public park, Julia Davis Park, will discover an entirely new attraction: the Bloch Cancer Survivor Plaza. Completed this past fall at the east end of the park near the pond, the plaza is intended to provide a place of contemplation and encouragement for those who have cancer and those who love them. Every one of us has been touched by cancer in some way: ourselves, family members, friends, and colleagues. As with any serious or chronic disease, determination and support can be as important as medical treatment in the fight against cancer. The Bloch Cancer Survivor Plaza offers perspective and hope through a “Positive Mental Attitude” walk with inspirational messages; a kinetic kite sculpture, “Wind Dance,” created by Boise artist and historian Mark Baltes; and a “Road to Recovery” plaza featuring artistic panels encircling the sculpture.

The plaza is unique in the Boise Valley and even the nation. Although the Richard and Annette Bloch Foundation of Kansas City, which provided a $1 million grant for the Julia Davis Park plaza, has funded two dozen other cancer survivor parks across the country, each of them is designed to complement its specific surroundings. Local cancer survivor Larry Fisher was instrumental in advocating for the creation of a Cancer Survivor Plaza in Boise. This special place will be even more beautiful and inspiring in the spring, when the multi- Bloch Cancer Survivors Plaza colored landscaping is in full bloom. But I encourage you not to wait to visit the Bloch Cancer Survivor Plaza, especially if you or someone you know is battling this disease. Any crisp, brilliantly sunny winter day, so typical of Boise, will be a perfect time.

SENIOR CENTER NAMED FOR FORMER MAYOR DICK EARDLEY As a long-serving mayor of Boise in the 1970s and 1980s, Richard R. “Dick” Eardley had a lasting impact on the lives of senior citizens in the community. Under his leadership, a new senior center was built to provide healthy activities, classes, meals and volunteer programs serving thousands of Boiseans. The city honored the late mayor’s visionary leadership by naming the building the “Dick Eardley Senior Center” at a ceremony on Nov. 17 at 690 S. Robbins Road.The senior center is owned by the City of Boise and operated by Senior Solutions, a non-profit agency.

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT OPEN SPACE RESERVES A “listening” campaign has begun to gather feedback from citizens on long-term management strategies for open spaces such as Camel’s Back, Hulls Gulch and Military reserves in the City of Boise. Input from workshops, surveys, email and phone calls will significantly influence the development of the first-ever City of Boise Open Space Reserve Management Plan and will shape the nature of existing and future reserves in our community.

We Love Our Volunteers! Thank you to the thousands of volunteers who contributed 65,039 hours to Boise Parks & Recreation in FY 2014. This level of support is comparable over $1.2 million in labor costs – the equivalent of 31 full-time employees! Volunteers help with park maintenance, special events, committees, youth sports, camps and other programs and activities. Here just a few of the opportunities available:

Service Projects Projects can take place any time during the year and will take into account your group size, availability, and needs. Some examples of projects we may match you up with may include: park spruce up, amenity construction (benches, picnic tables, etc.), tree mulching and wrapping, trash and debris removal. Adopt-A-Park Churches, civic organizations, local businesses and other community groups are invited to help maintain their neighborhood park. In exchange, we will acknowledge your contribution with an a sign in “your” park! Groups make a one-year renewable commitment to pick up litter, fill mutt-mitt dispensers with plastic bags, paint site amenities, rake leaves, mulch trees and perform other tasks.

Park Ambassadors Volunteers in the Park Ambassador program can help to promote community stewardship of their parks. Through regular visits, Ambassadors report maintenance needs and interact with park users to promote park safety, and encourage positive use of the City’s parks. This program is geared toward parks and facilities that have a natural, cultural, or historical significance to the City.
