Both with double gates to ensure the dogs don't get out when you are bringing yours in. They do a great job at ensuring there are poop bags and the trashes are emptied. If at any time the dogs are not getting along there is so much space to separate them and not worry about it. This is the best dog park I have been to! Highly recommend!!

The dog park part is primarily covered in wood bedding which is nice for lack of mud, and our pets love playing with the wood bits. Great place, highly recommend. Wish we lived closer to it, though.

This place is awesome! My fiancé and I live about a quarter mile from here and have two dogs with…read morelots of energy! We try to walk here 3 times a week. The dog park is located in the back right corner of the park. There are two sections: one designated for small dogs and one that all dogs can go to. The area is fenced off, which is great because my dogs aren't the best off leash yet (lol). The area is all bark, which can be a little rough on your pups paws if they aren't callused yet. They have a lot of things for the dogs to jump on, over, and through. And of course, a fire hydrant for the dogs to pee on! The only downside is dogs are just like any animal, anything can set them off. We have seen some dogs go after others but it hasn't happened to us. Some dogs are much more aggressive than others. Please make sure your dog is up to date on their vaccines and are friendly! Everyone will have a good time

After researching all of my options, I made the decision to leave Sofie at IDP. She is adopted and…read morevery shy and afraid to be abandoned. The staff at IDP are the BEST. They understood and showed so much compassion and care for my sweet girl. I left her for 6 days. The entire time I received photos and updates on Sofie. They have video available, however I never felt the need to watch, as they are so attentive toward informing progress and updates. They are Sofie's new Home away from Home. Clean, loving, caring, professional. Simply the Best for my sweet girl. Thank you Staff of IDP.

The stairs may look a bit intimidating at first, but the hike was actually short and pretty easy…read more There was a little boy, maybe 3 or 4 years old, climbing beside me with his dad and despite all the whining, he made it to the top too! The sunset view at the top was absolutely stunning, we came on a clear day and could see the entire city blanketed in trees. Such a breathtaking sight and definitely a must-see when visiting Boise. The parking lot was easy to find with plenty of space, making the whole experience even better.

This is one of the MOST EPIC parks I've ever been to. It was filled to brim with life, adventure…read moreand just wholesome fun. 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!

Mariposa Park is one of my favorite spots to take my dog. The fenced dog area has a big open space…read morewhere she can run and play, and afterwards we walk the nature trail and loop past the little pond. It's peaceful, usually not crowded, and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood so it feels like a hidden gem. The butterfly theme is really cute ("mariposa" means butterfly in Spanish) and there's a pollinator garden with signs about Monarchs and other pollinators. It's not the shadiest park yet, so on hot days I bring water for both of us. There's no playground here, but if you're looking for one, Winstead Park is just a few minutes away. If you want a calm, dog-friendly spot away from the busier parks, this is a great choice.

Pros - Beautiful! Glorious! Clean! Serene! Easy parking…read more They provide dog poo bags, so it'll be sure to use them. . Note - Not for bikes, but wheelchair accessible throughout. It is recommended to bring a map or follow yourself on GPS. There are restrooms at the parking lot, as well as inside the trails. Don't forget bug repellant. Some trails are off limit , so be careful. . Cons - Could use a few more benches scattered around the park.

We went for a nice walk in the park. I got to see how parks get winterized. The ponds were…read moredrained and fountains shut down. This is another place I will need to revisit during the spring/summer! I still got to see ducks and enjoy the very brisk air. So different from back home!

There is a bar with beer and ciders on tap and canned choices. There is also some bar treats to enjoy. The area is large and there is a covered and uncovered area. Everything is kept very clean too. This is like a dog park with perks. They also recently added grooming and our Stella has never looked better; We were very impressed with the service and how the dogs are treated. There is a choice of membership or day passes. This is a place where dogs and humans can socialize.

Pros - Plenty of available seating inside. Big doggie play…read moreareas. Staff diligent on pet mess clean-up. Some interactive play structures for dogs. No kids! (Love that). I was told that the club was open for at least 3 years and I was surprised, because it looks very new and well taken care of. Good extensive menu of drinks, with a generous number of non-alcoholic options, and a smaller food menu, but adequate as this is not a restaurant, and you just are looking for a quick bite. . Cons - Bit of frustration checking in on the app, and in person, but I was helped professionally. Rocks & mulch difficult for walking, no options for grass or AstroTurf outside. Gate that swings over the rocks was difficult to use, especially if one-handed. Men's restroom arrangement was odd, as there was only one urinal, and it was child size, then two toilets, but one did not have a door. They should have more seating upon entry before entering into the club proper. Unfortunately, there were no dog treats available and the only toys they provide are full size tennis balls. The day we went was not crowded, but the parking lot was, which makes me concerned if I happen to go on a day with many dogs, and owners, then I won't be able to find close parking. My smaller dog was approached by two larger aggressive dogs that did snap at my dog, and the owners took control to correct the situation, but staff did not. . Conclusion- I would return, but honestly it is not a convenient location for us, so I would not make this a regular place to visit.
