Welcome to the Boise River Recreation Park A Case for River Recreation
The Boise River flows from downtown along the site of a former cement plant. Along banks littered with broken concrete and wire mesh, the river’s debris-formed play waves attract local kayakers. Nearby ponds are destinations for anglers, paddlers and swimmers. An adjacent stretch of the Boise Greenbelt provides vantage points and a commuter route to downtown.

Progress Update Construction of the long-awaited River Recreation Park begins this week following Monday's (10/10/11) approval from the Boise Planning and Zoning Commission for a Boise River System Permit application. The permit allows for clearing and excavation of the river bank at the site and for improvements associated with the replacement of the Thurman Mill Diversion and construction of the first phase of the park.
The future park site is located near 3400 W. Pleasanton Ave. west of downtown Boise between Main Street and Veteran’s Memorial Park. During the five-month construction project, the Greenbelt will be closed on the north side of the river from Main Street to the Pleasanton spur and the 36th Street pedestrian bridge.
