Boise Parks and Recreation Review

We just visited Boise for the first time. All the parks and green spaces and the trail system was the best ever. Super clean and safe. Cant wait to come back!

I am looking for season passes to the public pools for my grandkids, was excited to learn that a child pass is only $20.00. When i asked about the family pass i was disappointed to find out they no longer offer them.

As a Boise native, I have seen Julia Davis Park transform over the years. We recently reserved a pavilion for a company picnic and the facilities were immaculate. I hadn't been to Julia Davis in many years and the last time I was at a picnic (same place, same facility) it was awful. There was goose droppings everywhere and we spent the first part of the event sweeping so this time I arrived early prepared to do the same thing. I was pleasantly surprised that the place was so clean. There were no droppings, the option for recycling is wonderful and I can't believe how big the trees are and the shade they provide.
Thank you for taking care of the park!

I called to find out the walking distance around one of the ponds at Easter Simplot Park today and was trrtrea as if I was wasting the woman's time who answered the phone.

I had the extreme displeasure of working on the lawn cutting crew for about 3 months. I was straight up lied to in my interview about what I would be doing and the length left of the season I was hired for. It was like working with a pack of special needs monkeys who escaped from the nearby Boise Zoo. The supervisor was a physically and mentally crippled gnome with zero talent or job skill. After I quite I was harassesed with endless calls from the stunted mutant about a missing cupcake. I have all his messages stored on my phone. Boise would do well to outsource to professional landscaping crews and stop hiring semi homeless unhinged primates to run a muck in their parks and drive lawnmowers like psychos.

Normally my family and I greatly enjoy coming to Ann Morrison park, but this morning I had a troubling encounter with one of the park's employees. This older employee was cleaning the restrooms when I approached the women's restroom, he came out of the men's restroom, saw me going into the women's and he made a rude expletive remark. After I had been in the restroom for only a couple of minutes, I could hear him outside the door making very rude comments. He even went to my car to ask my husband how long was I going to be. He then started banging on the women's door. I came out, saw him standing right by the restroom door and told him how rude I thought he was being. He then chastised me for taking 10 minutes in the bathroom and reminded me that this isn't a hotel. We're hard working, tax paying citizens and do not deserve to be treated with such disrespect. I can't help but wonder what the Parks and Recreation employees are told about respecting the park visitors.
Very disappointing, today's park visit.

I really enjoy all the classes and activities available for kids! Thanks
