Fairview Park Improvements and Playground Replacement
Boise Parks and Recreation is investing in improvements to Fairview Park in 2025. The existing tennis courts, basketball court and playground will be replaced and updated. The new accessible playground will include equipment for kids to spin, swing, slide and climb. The existing restroom will be updated and van accessible parking installed on Bannock Street.
Thank you to everyone who provided input on the new playground design for Fairview Park, located off W. Idaho Street west of downtown Boise. The results are in, and the GameTime playground design (Option 1) edged out the design proposed by Luckydog Recreation (Option 2) with 50.82% of the vote.
Next steps include finalizing the design elements with the manufacturer and ordering the equipment. Construction at Fairview Park is expected to start later this year, with the new playground and amenities open for use in the fall. Thank you for your cooperation and patience as this work is completed!

West End Walking Trail Guide
A walk on the Historic West End Trail explores the neighborhoods that marked the western edge of Boise city limits until the 1950s. Just over 3 miles in length, the trail points out some of the people and properties that give the West End a rich history, as well as its architectural and cultural diversity. The walking trail was created by the Veterans Park Neighborhood Association with funding from a Mayor’s Neighborhood Reinvestment Grant.
