Stewart Gulch Park offers a playground, sidewalks and a covered shelter.
August 2022 Update
Thank you for your patience as our team has worked to address vegetation issues at Stewart Gulch Park. The Boise Parks and Recreation Department team understands it is frustrating to have a playground but no nearby grass to enjoy and agree your neighborhood park needs improvements. We appreciate all you have done thus far to make the park more welcoming and are committed to continuing to partner with you and your neighbors moving forward. To that end, a water meter has been acquired so a portion of the park around the playground can be greened up. This will also hopefully address some of the overgrowth and weed issues on site. The department now has the water and a budget to work on improvements and our parks division is hopeful this can occur soon. However, please be aware that current labor shortages mean we cannot provide a specific timeline for the park greenup.
We understand the frustration with goatheads and other invasive species growth in the undeveloped portion of the park. Boise Parks and Recreation has solicited bids for a contractor to manage invasive species at this site and we are working to schedule visits more regularly. These visits will be based on contractor availability, which is limited at this time, and these contractor initiated treatments are planned in addition to our own team’s goathead removal efforts near the sidewalk and common areas in the park.
Again, thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to green up the space and make it more user friendly for everyone who visits Stewart Gulch Park. We will continue to keep the community updated as next steps are determined and labor shortages can be addressed.
