NEW COURT USE HOURS AND PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE AT MANITOU PARK
Boise Parks and Recreation has implemented a programming schedule and hours of play for the tennis and pickleball courts at Manitou Park. These changes were made to address noise concerns raised by residents who live around this neighborhood park while balancing continued use of the popular pickleball courts at this park location.
The tennis and pickleball courts at Manitou Park are open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. During the winter months, the courts close at sunset. Boise Parks and Recreation reserves the right to use and program the courts when they are open for use. The courts will be locked in the evenings when play wraps up and unlocked in the morning at 8 a.m. so play can resume. The courts are closed on Sundays and Mondays.
Any person(s) who attempts to remove the locks or enter the court after hours may be subject to penalty under Boise City Code sections 5-3-1(A) or 7-7A-11, or Idaho Codes 18-7008 and 18-7001.
We appreciate your cooperation as we work to find a compromise for all who visit and live in close proximity to Manitou Park. If you have any questions or feedback about this change, please contact Boise Parks and Recreation via email to connect with staff.
