Lots of members of all levels so if you're looking for a game, there are many to get connected with. Idaho has a great tennis population and this is where things happen.

And bonus it's tucked into a mature neighborhood... so the risk of crazy wild dogs off leash & people with angst is minimal. If u enjoy quietness too, come enjoy this community park... note the downside is no real parking, so not appropriate for group activities.

I've been coming to Settlers Park for more than 20 years. When the kids were young, they used to…read morecall it "Pirate Park" and sometimes we still refer it as that. There's quite a lot to do but be mindful of all the activities that may be going on from soccer, flag football, tennis, softball, and baseball. My son when he was little even fished here with Mrs. Idaho one year. I have the picture and if I can find it, I'll upload it. Many many memories and sometimes lately it's just a nice getaway from all the emails, Teams calls, and crazy noise of the world.

For much of the year, the Optimist Youth Sports Complex functions as the name implies--as a sports…read morecomplex. This makes sense--wide expanses of green grass and great parking make for an ideal spot for recreational teams to play. During the off season, however, it functions as an off leash dog area (June-early September, and again November 1-end of February). Huge fields for your doggie pals to run in make this a favorite spot for locals and their puppy pals. I bring my English Setter, Liesel, here because she needs space that will allow her to all out run and their fields provide just such a place (without ever getting too near any streets or parking areas). There are two ponds on the site. I've actually seen people fishing in one of the ponds. The ponds often have ducks in them, so if your dog is interested in birds at all, you may have a hard time keeping them out of the water (Liesel ends up sneaking in nearly every time). There are also paved pathways for strolling as well as tennis courts and picnic areas (both covered and uncovered). I love any area where I can bring my dogs off-leash and this provides a good one. I will say that though many people do bring their dogs here, it's so large that it provides less of a socialization setting and more of a space to run off some energy, which works out quite well for my girl. Get to it!

I have a hard time rating parks lower than four stars…read more There. I said it. Why? Because--yay, I'm a fan of an oasis of green, however big or small. That said, of course, if it was overly littered or more weedy than grassy--I suppose I'd have to go lower in stars. Fortunately, that is not the case for Fairview Park. Fairview Park is a neighborhood park on the corner of 23rd and Idaho Streets that, while small, is none-the-less full of amenities. There's a playground for the wee ones as well as those a little less wee (you know--the 6-12 set). They have a couple full sized basketball courts as well as 2 tennis courts. There's picnic tables (no covered picnic area), plenty of benches, and restrooms (though--it should be noted they're closed in winter). Another note--probably not the best park for larger gatherings as the only parking is on street. Also, not the best place for sports or kite flying as there's a fair amount of trees dispersed throughout the park that would get in the way. The up side? Plenty of shade on a hot day. Get to it!

Art in the Park at Julia Davis Park…read more Art in the Park at Julia Davis Park is such a fun experience! The event is right along the Boise Greenbelt, so you can stroll through all the incredible art vendors and then enjoy a walk around the large, beautiful park. Fun fact: Julia Davis Park is the oldest park in Boise, established in 1907, and it's still one of the city's most popular gathering spots. There were so many vendors with a big variety of artwork, with something for every taste. I even found the perfect gift for my step-dad-in-law: a mountains and sun piece made out of different kinds of rocks. If you're an art lover, this event is a must-go-to. Another bonus is how easy it is to explore the area. You can rent e-bikes and e-scooters nearby to cover more ground. And every time we go, we always stop to see the giraffes at Zoo Boise, which is right next to the park. It makes for a full day of art, nature, and fun. Great place for families and anyone who wants to soak in Boise's creative and community vibe!

Large trees keep it cool, perfect for picnic, reading in the park, sitting next to a big Lincoln statue, play area, tennis, or just taking a stroll. It's very close to the zoo, art museum, and two history museums, all worthy attractions on their own! Across the street from the library as well on capital. It's the cities oldest park. It was created by a donation of 43 acres in 1907 from Thomas Davis.

Baggley Park is a nice little neighborhood park that holds a special place in my heart. I used to…read moretake my senior dog, Simba, who had hip problems and issues getting in and out of the car here all the time. I mention this because the parking lot here at Baggley Park has a spot at the far left corner that is on a slope- making it easy for elderly dogs to get out of the car without being "airlifted". Along with being senior dog-approved with both a concrete loop path around the park, a large open grassy area, and ample trash cans around; it's also great for humans with a tennis court, basketball court, sand volleyball, and playground. There is also an entrance to the Boise River Greenbelt in the neighborhood of this park. There are 2 handicap stalls right at the start, but other than that there are no other parking spots- so it's best to park at Baggely and walk over to the Greenbelt from there. There are a few local grocery stores and spots to pick up food really close making Baggley Park a great spot to picnic as well.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon and there were kids soccer games, folks playing tennis, families working out, and all ages hiking the hills. Behind the park is even tons of winding trails for both hiking and biking. While the climb up to the top of the main hill wasn't all that long, it was definitely steep. With the sun beaming down, it felt rather invigorating and provided a nice feeling of accomplishment making it to the top. This park definitely is a special part of town and it's clear that local residents definitely cherish and appreciate it!
