Manitou Park is a great little neighborhood park tucked away in east Boise…read more It's not a huge park, but has better amenities than some parks twice its size. There are play areas for kids of all ages, tennis courts, a basketball court, pickleball courts (yes...that's a thing), restrooms, large expanses of green for sports or picnics, and plenty of shade trees. There's a large green field tucked in the back of the park that functions as an off leash dog area daily from sunrise to 10am and again from 4pm-sunset. The only exception to this is when there are sports going on (I went one evening and there was a soccer game underway in the usual off leash area). Summer late afternoons/early evenings are the best! The off leash area is a veritable dog party! It's not a terribly convenient location for me, but, I find it worth the drive and so make my way there often (twice, just this week!). Get to it

It's our park. I say that in complete honest. We moved into this subdivision when our house was…read morestill being built and most of Meridian was still cow pastures. We were one of the first three original model homes for the Champion Park subdivision and 12 years later, we're still here. The park has really matured from the time it was simply a dirt rectangle. First came the saplings and then the grass. Shortly thereafter, a playground was installed. Later, fencing around the peripheral of the park closed the park to the backyards of the many home owners. The basketball court and picnic shelter came in and lastly the doggie bag holders and multiple trash receptacles completed the parks accessories. I never thought about checking into my park. I naturally assumed someone had a created a Yelp listing for it but that was not the case. So one early morning Saturday, I went to check into my park and it wasn't found on Yelp. I decided take action and give Champion Park it's Champion due. It's a great park that's home to any number of dog walkers and folks who simply want a stroll. The berms and grass is politely manicured and everyone who takes care of the park does so with such care. A couple of reminders. Park is open from dawn to dusk. Once the sun goes down, park is closed No Smoking on the park grounds. I wish this was enforced a little more Dogs have to be on a leash and you have to pick up after your pooch. Again this needs to be enforced more as well Lastly in the NE corner of the park is a irrigation pond, please do not let your kiddos and your dogs go swimming in there. It's really not clean. Oh by the way don't throw rocks into the pond or near the wildlife. Take a championship stroll through Champion Park. You'll feel like you won the Super Bowl.

It has over 4 acres of open space that from sunrise to 10am functions as an off leash dog park. Ahhh...the joy of watching dogs run together in wild abandon. Get to it!

my son and I somewhat enjoyed this park. it's tucked away in a little neighborhood in the north…read moreend. it has its own parking lot and plenty of trees for shade, which is good, especially as it gets hotter. the equipment was "little tikes" brand so it's very brightly colored and my son went nuts when he saw it. he couldn't wait to play! he's only 2, but they do have a little kids section and a big kids section. both sections were raised up so high above the wood chips it was honestly dangerous. the gap at the bottom of the slides was taller than my kid. at one point he went down the slide too fast and it's so high up he went flying off into the wood screaming. why are they leaving this giant gap? I will never understand why so many parks have this issue. we probably won't come back to this one unfortunately. onto the next!

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.

We love Discovery Park! And, if we had young kids, we would definitely take them here!…read more We do have dogs though, and they are currently expanding their dog parks. Yes, there are two - one for large dogs and one for smaller dogs. Not only that, but we also walk them around the full park until they've had enough exercise. Discovery is a HUGE park with baseball fields, dog parks, a skate and biking park, plus a well-built and fun play area for kids. I'm pretty sure we walked by a huge sand pit for kids to plain too! It's loaded with things to do, and we highly recommend it!! It's clean, beautiful, and offers a huge variety of things to do!!

This is such an awesome park! It is located pretty far south in Meridian, but if you are one of the…read morepoor people that live in this restaurant and entertainment desert, then hurray for you! Discovery park mixes all the fabulous things of a traditional park with educational pieces about Idaho. The play structure is great. It has usual bits like slides and nets to climb, but it also has funky bridges, musical components and a variety of ladders. There are two very long zip lines with the attached seat, making it perfect for all ages. (Yes even my 32 year old husband thought it was amazing) There are these super fun roller slides that are fun for older kids to try and climb, but also littles who don't like to go too fast on a slide. I love that this is the rubberized surface. When you have an early walker, this is the best type of park to go to. Behind the play structure is the best part of this park. They have a water feature to help kids learn about Idaho rivers! Kids can play in the sand, dig ditches and levies and divert water streams. There is also a traditional splash pad around the side. There are three covered picnic areas, large bathrooms and plenty of parking. This is a wonderful new park addition to our community!

We came out with our friends' three year old after lunch and found this park nearby. Surrounded by an amazing neighborhood with plenty of space, we were excited to see the playground was shaded and could let children run around. I was really excited about the tennis courts nearby along with the basketball court. Perhaps once the temperature cools down a bit, I'll swing by and play on both courts. All in all, great spot to bring children with little to no traffic at all. I think we just found a great location for our next family barbecue!
