The 7-acre neighborhood park is located on the Boise Bench between Cole and Milwaukee St. next to Morley Nelson Elementary School and Community Center. Park amenities include a playground, non-reservable picnic shelter, tennis courts, restrooms and a municipal pool. The shelter is available at a first come, first served basis.
February 2023 Update:
Boise Parks and Recreation has a long-term lease with the Boise School District for the public use of Fairmont Park, which includes all management, scheduling and maintenance of the location. The District will be relocating the Capital High School soccer fields from Milwaukee Park to Fairmont Park this year. This move will only affect the Department’s management of the sports fields and not the swimming pool, playground or tennis courts, which the city will continue to maintain through a long-term arrangement. All previous Parks and Recreation events that were scheduled on the sports fields have been relocated to other park sites.
