Boise Parks and Recreation enhances the quality of life in Boise by providing safe, healthy recreational opportunities for children and adults. The department is responsible for maintaining parks throughout the City of Boise, trails throughout the Ridge to Rivers System, 25 miles of Greenbelt pathways, hundreds of acres of open space, Zoo Boise, Warm Springs Golf Course, Quail Hollow Golf Course, six outdoor pools, Idaho IceWorld, Fort Boise Community Center and many other amenities.
We offer art, drama and dance classes, fitness and martial arts programs, mountain biking instruction, nature tours, environmental education, special events and other programs. Boise Parks and Recreation serves hundreds of low-income youth at ten school-based community centers and a mobile recreation van program that travels to parks, schools and refugee apartment complexes throughout the city.
City of Boise's Parks and Recreation manages several facilities for the public to use. You can find anything from ice skating, golf, gardening and art classes, and more.
For the health and safety of our residents and staff, the City of Boise has canceled all city-sponsored public programming and public outreach until further notice. This includes:
Parks and Recreation activities, classes, events and leagues
All Library and Arts & History programs and events
The City of Boise issued a Public Health Emergency Order on March 19, 2020 suspending most Boise City board and commission meetings.
