I've been coming to Settlers Park for more than 20 years. When the kids were young, they used to call 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. read more

Love this park wish there was a basketball court instead of an extra soccer field and more pickleball courts instead of tennis courts. But we love this park . The little duck pond is so cute too. read more

Huge with many things to do. Cornhole, horseshoes. Just needs a basketball court! Also pond with fishing

I love settlers Park because it's got a Pond It's got a baseball Park, which is pretty cool and it's got a playground for if you have a kid read more

We are so fortunate in the Treasure Valley to have so many gorgeous parks right outside our door! Settlers Park does not disappoint! This park has great playgrounds for young kids, baseball diamonds, horseshoe pits, a splash pad, lots of picnic areas, & acres of gorgeous green grass. There's even a pond where you can catch fish! One of my favorite things that this park offers is Movie Nights every Friday night during the summer months. The movies are sponsored by different businesses. Families are able to set up blankets and enjoy a free family friendly movie under the stars! It's great! They have a snack bar that has plenty of goodies to enjoy. The park offers clean and well maintained restrooms and the parking lot is easy to get in and out of via Meridian or Ustick. read more

Great fun! This park is nearby my home and we frequently ride our bikes to enjoy the scenery. As you can see, the pond is quite relaxing and I like to watch the ducks. Many families are out and about enjoying their day, passing the time fishing or throwing horseshoes or playing tennis! This park offers many different types of activities and has good parking and access. There's so much to do while at Settlers Park, that every trip is a new adventure! read more

This is a really cool park. Tons of unique features, HUGE, and very popular with the small humans. This place goes way beyond the typical swings and slide park. It has rock climbing walls, musical instruments, tire swings, handicap accessible swings, a huge splash pad, massive fields, tennis and pickle ball courts, plenty of seating and tons of concrete for kids to practice their bikes and scooters. One of my most favorite things is the rubberized surface under the play structure. This makes it ideal for beginning walkers. However, in the heat of the summer...that black color is BRUTAL. It is seriously 10 degrees hotter in the play structure area than on the concrete or grass. This is still a newish park so the trees are medium sized. But what really needs to happen is that HUGE sun sails can be strung across the whole structure. I've seen it done in California and Arizona when we've visited there and it's a must for our Boise summers. The splash pad is great. Wide and open which makes it seem slightly less chaotic when 50 day camp kids are running around. This is another reason why I had to give Settler's 4 stars...it is so dang crowded in summer. It's a great park so everyone loves it! It just makes me hesitant to bring multiple children when I'm the only (semi) responsible adult. This is not a "sit and relax while my offspring run around" kind of park. You really have to stay vigilant if your kids are under 5. read more

What Settler's Park lacks in the natural beauty of the parks along the Green Belt, it more than makes up for in being toddler friendly. The Adventure Island Playground includes eight toddler swings (most parks only have two to four) a toddler-sized play set with slides and a tunnel, and a "sound garden," as well as regular swings and a larger play set for older children. Instead of the usual wood chips, the playground has rubberized mulch. (I prefer rubberized mulch in general but be advised that it does get hot in the summer.) The "splash pad" is a great way to introduce your toddler to water before trying out a local pool or water park. One of our fifteen month old sons loved playing in the water, the other, not so much. To other parents with smaller children, just be cautious of the larger buckets of water that occasionally tip to the delight of older children. Shade is limited, as are benches so bring a blanket and a big umbrella if you have one. The park has a concession stand. read more

Awesome large park.. a small oasis for locals. Cute pond with lots of ducks and sitting benches (you can also fish here). Huge, nice playground. Splash pad open in summer. Very large open grass areas, well maintained. Attached tennis courts (or bachi ball.. whatever that's called). Only downside is how crowded the playground portion can get on a weekend with nice weather, especially when it's hot and the splash pad is open. Parents please stop letting your soaking wet kids run all over the playground portion straight from the splash pad and go on the equipment.. watch them better.. it's rude to have them getting everyone else wet who didn't go there for the splash pad and it's dangerous to have them spreading water all over the playground and equipment. Only reason for four stars is the large summer crowd. All in all, lovely park! read more

This is an awesome park easily accessed on Meridian Road. The parking lot is located directly on Meridian Road and is large, so the actual park is set back and away from the busy thoroughfare. They have a little something for everyone...and their dog. There are large expanses of green open space for sports or games of any kind or to run your dog around a bit (on leash). They have mutt mitt stations to clean up after Fido. They have play equipment wonderful for children of a variety of ages. There's a pond for fishing, picnic area for a little alfresco dining, tennis courts, and even a 9 hole disc golf course. With all the amenities, this is truly a destination park. You could easily and happily spend an entire sunny Saturday in complete relaxed enjoyment. Get to it! read more

The only thing missing from this park is more shade. Otherwise it's pretty awesome. It has a water play area that isn't too intimidating with only big water dumps but smaller sprinklers too. There is a little kids area, a rock climbing area, a preschooler area with a pirate theme that focuses on balance, climbing and running. There are multiple swing sets and a gigantic lawn to run on. read more

Came here for a friend's son's baseball game. This is a beautiful park with several baseball fields. Clean and easy-to-access restroom facilities and plenty of parking on multiple sides of the park. I agree with another reviewer that more shady areas are needed. The day I was there with my husband, it was over 100 degrees and there were very few areas to sit and cool down. Other than that, this is an awesome park! read more

It's been at least several years since I've been to this park. We came out for my son's baseball game, and I was so pleasantly surprised!! The park is very clean and maintained! Now they are mature trees throughout the park. The baseball fields are also well maintained and prepared. So wonderful to see such a big improvement in a few years!!! read more

What an amazing park!?!?!?! Our son is less than 2 years old (but close) and had an absolute blast! He climbed, he slid, he ran and he climbed some more. The two play ground areas have rubber ground so even if he took a digger, he was ok. The only downside was the volume of older kids running here and there without concern of who they knock into. BUT, that comes with any play ground. I hate to recommend this place and increase foot traffic but my wife decided this is her new favorite park to take our son to. read more

This is by far the coolest park I've been to for kiddos! They have tons of picnic areas, a few covered and appeared to be reservable. There is a large splash pad with water activities for kids of all ages. Then the playground, wowzers! Where so I start!? There a huge play structure with multiple slides, ways to climb up, sensory toys and bridges. Then there's a smaller structure for littler kids, with lots to check out. Then the coolest part is the musical area, tons of giant chimes and drums. Way cool. There's also a rock climbing area with giant (fake) boulders for kids to climb up. I love that the play areas are covered in a foamy absorbable rubber. It's not only nice to walk on but obviously is there to aid in decreasing booboos. The bathroom facilities are also very nice. They have a multi stall woman's and men's as well as a family or gender neutral bathroom. The park itself is also nice and well maintained. read more

Really cool car proof that I suggest everyone going there it's such a big playground there's so much to do.

My family loves coming to this park. There is something for everyone here. Their play area has a great assortment of structures for all ages. My son has never not made a new friend while playing here. They also have several different faux rocks to climb and a fun interactive music area. There is also a water park, which is welcome relief from the hot days. And a free way to cool off! During the summer months they have a snack shack if you forgot a drink or need a quick snack for a hungry little one. There is also a lifeguard on duty for the water area, who monitors the kids to make sure they don't get out of hand. There is a small catch and release pond, which my dog loves to swim in. A huge grassy field for flying kites, a football or soccer game or throwing a frisbee. Several tennis courts, a really nice horseshoe area and several baseball diamonds. There is also a paved pathway around the outer border of the park, which is great for evening walks, bike rides, roller blading etc. Nice clean bathrooms and a few drinking fountains. During the summer they have movies in the park. Giant blow up movie screen, relaxing on the lawn and a family friendly movie. They have other activities lined up for the late afternoon, if you want to make the day of it. Definitely one of our favorite places to kill an hour or two, and wear down the kids! :) read more

Wow is all I can say. I miss living in Meridian. This park has everything from a jungle gym area for the kids, small water feature area for the kids, new baseball fields, new tennis courts, horse shoe pits, stocked fishing pond and a nice track around the whole park ( I heard it is a 1 mile track but I have never confirmed). During the summer months, the city will put on movies in the park on a big screen on Friday nights for a fun family gathering. One of the nicest parks I have been too. read more

We are new to the area and are so thankful we found this park! Our 18 month old has a blast every time we come here; we love it more than other parks because there are more options for toddlers. It is always clean, and full of families enjoying their time together. It can be a bit crowded on the weekends, especially if there are soccer or flag football games going on in the fields next to the park. All in all, I highly recommend Settlers Park to any mom looking for a safe, clean and fun place for your children to play! read more

Free outdoor movies in the summer. Bunch of toys for kids. Lots of grass. Fun park.

A downtown Boise park this is not, give it another 20 years and the trees will be just as big and shady. The park is still great for kids, lots of playground equipment for all ages and I love the padded ground around the equipment. In the summer kids love all of the water play and musical instruments. There's also lots of room for big bbqs and picnics in the covered shelters and picnic tables spread throughout the park. read more

We love the movie nights in the park during the summer! The playground is so large that it's difficult to keep a close eye on multiple kids.

They have a music area, smaller kids play place, bigger kids play structure, splash pad, tennis courts, huge open grass, and so much more! Best park I have ever been to! read more

This is definitely one of the better parks during the week, but whenever I've gone on the weekends it is extremely over crowded, eagle island is probably the best in the valley in my opinion. read more

There is so much to do here. We have been here well over 20 times and kids are never short on fun. This time we came for movie in the park which was cool that they do this. Kids played themselves out :) and slept in the next day. This is our go to place for all day fun. read more

Wow! What a park! What do you look for in a park? Fields for you and your kids to play sports? Various playgrounds for different ages? A splash pad? Giant musical instruments? A horseshoe throwing area? Paths for running on? Bathrooms? Tennis courts? Volleyball nets? Faux rocks for your kids to get rid of all of that pent-up energy? Plenty of parking? This park has it ALL! I first came here for my daughter's soccer practice, but came a little too early. No fear! We found the giant musical instruments and the splash-pad! It's quite a place! Very family-friendly. The park is giant so if you go, be willing to spend some time to truly explore. read more
