Climb up as high as you can to see beautiful views of the city and surrounding areas. The kids enjoyed the playground and also running up and down the vast hills. More

Good place to picnic with your kids and pets then walk trails and ride the bike paths. Only it does get crowded every weekend during warm weather. Has some table but they go early, traffic can be a problem. But worth a visit to see if its for you. More

Has a great sledding hill but no snow:( Boise is blessed with many great parks. This one is in a very cool part of town. After working up a thirst playing, head to Java in Hyde Park for a bowl o soul! More

There are playgrounds, tennis courts, and a volleyball court that attracts locals. Sometimes there are pick-up ultimate frisbee games Fun place to join in on the games, or you can just hang-out and watch on the hillside. I love walking the hill and getting the view of Boise-- it'll show you why our nickname is the "City of Trees" More
