It was sunny, warm and beautiful out today so I took it as a sign to take a bike ride along the river. I started my ride at the Marigold and Glenwood entrance. I made my way down the path. A lot of construction going on for the new park that is being built by the Fairgrounds. I look forward to checking it out when it's finally complete. The ride along the river was beautiful. The trail was easy to ride and had a lot of spots you can stop at to check out. Wildlife, plant life and of course the water. Every stretch of the river is so different. I did stop at a part of the river that looked like a lagoon. The trees covering the benched area. The sun shining through the branches. You get beautiful rays of sun peaking through. It was truly a magical area. Made my way further down by the white water rafting area. People everywhere on thier bikes or folks just walking. Everyone had the same idea about enjoying this beautiful weather today. We were all soaking up mother earth. I biked all the way down to Main and Chinden. I decided to flip around. I still had to ride my bike home and didn't want to overwhelm myself with a longer ride back to my house which was another mile from the Marigold entrance. If I would have had a partner with me or have driven to the river, I probably would have continued on. But, that's for another adventure! This stretch of the river was so pretty. I'm happy I got to check it out today. It's amazing how beautiful our little city is. I'm looking forward to checking out the other side of the river heading towards Eagle. I'm sure it's just a beautiful as what I experienced today.

I just love how everyone is doing their own thing, whether that's walking, strolling, biking, fishing, kayaking or even surfing! Yes that's right, there's a section where you can actually surf the stream.. how cool is that?! There a signs at the entrances that remind people not to be a "speed demon" and also signs warning about blind curves, which I very much appreciated. We rented those Lime electric scooters and were able to scoot nearly the entire path, which felt so epic and fun. Of course, we were mindful of pedestrians, bikes and foot traffic. One of my favorites parts of the path was when went past the Boise Zoo and saw not just one, but too giraffes poking their heads up at the trees. They were ginormous and even seems to acknowledge us with curious eyes and ears. What a special treat to have such an open, accessible and convenient public space right in the heart of a city!

The frontside is beginner friendly while having some opportunities to get some speed if you're more advanced. The backside is a good time and per usual where the more advanced terrain lies. There's even some opportunities for backcountry if you're looking for it. It's also amazing to support Bogus as it is a community-owned asset, which means every dollar they earn goes directly back into the mountain. It takes a full commitment from amazing folks from the amazing staff on the mountain to the volunteer board of directors, there is much effort put into preserving this treasure to the Treasure Valley. Parking is super easy. I used to park in a way where when it was time to go home I could just board down to my car on the last lap of the day. Always the perfect end to a fun day on the mountain. Shred on and stay safe!

The park is clean. The bridges that connect to each side of the river is so peaceful to walk over. Watching the river run it's course, seeing people float the river while leaving their cares behind or just soaking up the sun while on the bridge is just magical. It's one of the best parts of the park. Our walk was amazing today. We held our event at the Old Timers Shelter. As always, the picnic tables were clean. The foliage was lush. And our park was sparkling. It was great seeing people running, walking and cycling on the greenbelt. We made our way on our path passing the Ann Frank memorial and hitting a part of Julia Davis. This park will always have a piece of my heart. I will always remember the Boise River Festival. The big water fountain. Playing at the park and heading the ducks. Swinging on the swings chatting with a boy I was talking to. I look foward to many more memories at this park in my future.

The reason for this YELP review is to express gratitude for the crew in charge of sending us down the snow lanes. My daughter (4yrs old) was so terrified to go down the slides and they were so kind. So gentle. Such great cheer leaders to motivate her to do it. After 3 attempts they finally convinced her to do it and she loved it. My parents (both in their 70's) my husband my daughter and myself will talk about this experience for years to come.

So.... stinkin'..... much..... fun…read more I knew nothing about this place until we went to Idaho to visit my brother and sister-in-law. They'd rolled their eyes, promised, nearly guaranteed there'd be snow. I mean it's bloody Idaho....in January. There WILL be snow. But of course, the few days we were there? None on the ground and not a single flake fell. But the Gateway saved us! Like I said we knew nothing. So we didn't book or pay on-line or sign any waivers in advance. We rolled up with cash in our pockets and said we wanted to play. The runs were fast and fun. There was one with a jump large enough that I got airborne several times. The staff that manned the runs were upbeat and energetic. And it was a great opportunity for this hevier-than-he-ought-to-be visitor to get some vigorous exercise. I loved the intertube design!! Someone clearly has given that some thought. The skins that covered the intertubes were freakishly fast and the handles were thick and rugged and comfortable. It was especially awesome to set the intertube down at the top of a run, back up 3 or 4 big steps, and give it a running, leaping start. Just for a minute as I was in the air or as I was screaming sideways down the run I could relish the sense of invincibility that teenagers and 20-somethings enjoy as a routine part of life. It was wonderful.

The water is pretty clear and clean and is on the cooler side. There are rentals available if you want to pick up a paddle board or bring your own. On the hot summer weekends, get there before 11am because there is little to no parking after noon.

They have a great play ground with equipment flanked by benches and surrounded by trees so you can easily sit and watch the kiddos at play in the shade. There is a nice covered picnic area (conveniently adjacent to the bathrooms) where you could enjoy a little alfresco picnic style dining (or even reserve for an outdoor party or gathering). They have a single basketball court. And, there's even a couple tennis courts for those who like to volley their way to a little game-set-match. The parking area is rather small, but the parking at the Table Rock trailhead is also quite close if overflow was needed. Overall a great park, with great amenities, in an awesome location.
