City of Boise

Esther Simplot Park will be closed to all vehicles from Monday, June 22 to Friday, June 26 for resurfacing. The Boise River Greenbelt, internal park paths and features will remain open to users, but please plan to walk, bike or scoot into Esther Simplot Park during the temporary parking lot closure. Please do not park in the Idaho River Sports parking lot to access Esther Simplot Park during the temporary parking lot closure, and please always be respectful of neighbors and read posted signage if seeking on-street parking nearby.

Thank you for your patience as these necessary parking lot updates are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible!

Personal fireworks are not allowed in City of Boise parks and open spaces! They can cause fires, damage playgrounds, scorch turf, harm trees and leave behind dangerous debris. Help us keep our parks safe, beautiful and ready for everyone to enjoy.

Many City of Boise facilities are closed on Friday, June 19 in observance of Juneteenth. City parks, the Boise River Greenbelt, cemeteries, Zoo Boise and municipal golf courses will operate on normal schedules.

There is no delay to trash, recycling or compost collection.

Water is a limited resource, especially during drought years. You can reduce the amount of water you use at home this summer with a few simple steps: fix leaks, water lawns and gardens during cooler parts of the day, use rain barrels to collect water for plants and install water-efficient fixtures to reduce water use and save money.

The Boise Farmer's Market Mobile Market will be at City Hall every Thursday from 1 - 3:30 p.m. this summer! The Mobile Market provides local produce to Boiseans using a ‘pay what you choose’ model, ensuring equitable access to local food for all.
