Esther Simplot Park

Are you kidding me, Boise? This place is beautiful and the path around the river go every which way. It is so nice to take a walk in early evening. The river is one of the best things about Boise and it is the thing I miss the most. They really did a great job with this whole area.

This park has so much that is unique here to Boise. They have a good amount of water to swim on kayaking. The Boise runs through this area and they have build different concrete forms to make it feel like it’s is rough water. Yes they have their amount of geese and mallards 🦆 so watch out for droppings as it’s everywhere. There are play grounds for the 2 to 12 ages as well. It also connects to the green belt by way of a pedestrian bridge. There is ample areas for picnickers to just enjoy all there is here.

Its a great park along the Boise River with lots of parking and bathrooms. There is a beautiful lake to swim in, paddle board or kayak in. There are lots of picnic tables and trees. Lots of people fish and swim in the river or sunbath and surf the ripples on the river.

Yuck! This is where children are supposed to swim? No dogs are allowed in the beach areas because of sanitation issues. How long before swimmers itch shows up with all the geese excrement that is all over the beach and in the shallows of the water? Absolutely disgusting!

Beautiful park. Very peaceful and love the trails and Greenbelt. Just a really nice place to get outside on a nice day and enjoy nature. Can't wait to go back.

This is a beautiful park. You can walk the dogs, play in the water, have parties, or just let the kids play.

Cold water, but very relaxing. Restrooms are okay.

Just an adventure with my fun wife walking around the park going to the zoo!
