Veterans Memorial Park

Veterans Memorial Park was acquired by Boise Parks & Recreation in 1997 through a 25 year lease agreement between Boise City and the State of Idaho. The park is for the benefit of the people of the State of Idaho, Idaho's Veterans, and the general public.  There are several memorials throughout the park, a proposed plaza, playground and pathways.

Wondering about where to fish in Boise ponds? The Idaho Department of Fish & Game stocks several ponds in city parks maintained by the Boise Parks & Recreation. For the stocking schedule, see Idaho Fish & Game Stocking Information.

This park has parking spaces with Greenbelt access.  

Boise Parks & Recreation is proud to have worked with the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 63, to develop a Patriots' Walk in Veterans Memorial Park.  The Patriot's Walk was built in honor of Idaho Veterans that have fought for our freedom, our State, and our great Nation.

The brick pathway links the parking lot to the existing amphitheater, which will eventually be a Veterans Memorial Plaza.  The project has been funded via a capital campaign conducted by the VFW, which consists of selling Memorial Bricks to Idaho Veterans and their families.

If you are interested in purchasing a brick, Patriot's Walk brick applications are available at VFW Post 63 located at 3308 Chinden Blvd. in Garden City or on our Naming Opportunities web page.

Veterans Memorial Park has a Memorial Plaza that contains a number of different monuments and memorials that have been erected in honor of our veterans. These include a Combat Wounded Veterans Memorial, Korean War Memorial, POW/MIA Memorial, as well as others.  It is a wonderful place to visit to reflect on the sacrifice so many have made for our freedom.
