Starting November 15, 2022, individual resolutions adding deed restrictions to park and open spaces properties were presented in groups to Mayor McLean and Boise City Council members. The final group of park and open space reserve protections were adopted on January 10, 2023. All eligible parks and open space reserves within city limits now have important lasting protections. Any future property added to the city’s park and open space inventory, including park property annexed into the city, will be afforded the same lasting protections. This includes sites like the Shamrock St. park land purchase and the linear park + pathway on West Goddard Road.
Locations included in this process are reflected on the interactive map, as well as listed below with the date approved by Boise City Council.
