At Boise Parks and Recreation (BPR), we believe the strength of our department comes from the people in our community. We strive to engage the community in our operations and service opportunities that enhance our parks and open spaces through volunteering.
If you want to get your hands dirty with us, we offer lots of ways to go beyond passive enjoyment of the Boise park system. From individuals and families to classrooms and corporations, there’s something for everyone.
