Downtown @The Boise River

Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time? That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains.-Hermann Hesse

That is so beautiful. The greenbelt has to be one of the finest anywhere. I bet that is a gorgeous commute if one can ride their bike to work.

Boise Parks & Rec does a tremendous job at keeping the Greenbelt beautiful as well as all of our verdant parks.

Boise ranks as having one of the best city park systems in the nation, the acreage of green space in and near downtown is a model for other cities.

I know, based on research, that your city lacks in a big way when it comes to city park acreage and access. Boise P&C is busy adding even more parks around the city and adding more bike trails in the Foothills above downtown. New paths for joggers, bike commuters, etc are being planned along canals that flow throughout the city. We may not have the best public transportation system around, which hopefully changes in the near future, but we have one of the best cycling communities in the nation as well as the Boise River Greenbelt which is the greenbelt others strive to be like. Our Foothills trails, which begin less than a mile from downtown, are among the best singletrack around for mountain biking, and the network of trails that connect up to the Boise National Forest are second to none.

The city is also investing heavily in tech infrastructure for parks throughout the area. Some of the bigger parks are getting surveillance cameras and free public Wi-Fi. With 5G and unlimited cell data these days, it might not seem like a huge deal, but it’s a nice perk during events like Art in the Park or Treefort. Vendors can hop on the Wi-Fi to offer services more easily.

So far, upgrades have mostly focused on downtown parks, but the plan is to start widening the net and bringing other parks into the fold.

Thanks! I want to share more pictures, but I am tasked with sorting through hundreds of images stored on my Nikon. Look out for a photo thread of the most beautiful place in the Lower 48.

Summer in Boise ~ City of Parks
Boise is a city of Parks and lush green places. I've been collecting photos of parks around our fine city and will share as Summer progresses.

Here is one to start at Elm Grove Park. Traffic calming Boise style in the North End.
