Optimist Youth Sports Complex

9889 W Hill Rd

Optimist Youth Sports Complex is a 51 acre park located in northwest Boise. The park features sports fields, open play areas, a fishing pond and public art.

Currently restroom facilities are not available for drop-in use. Restrooms are open during scheduled sporting events only.

In agreement with the Boise Noon Optimists the sports complex is primarily football fields and soccer fields. This agreement came about through a contract made between the City of Boise and the Boise Noon Optimists in 2002. The Boise Noon Optimists led by Jerron Moore agreed to raise funds for the development and perform the construction of the park. The City then took over maintaining the park.

Dogs are allowed on-leash outside of the designated football and soccer seasons. These dates are posted at the park.

Restriction dates:

September - November (football season)
April - May (soccer season)
