We discovered this beautiful little park a year ago while walking along the green belt. The playground structure was completely redone this past year, including the addition of a splash pad. Definitely a beautiful, quiet, and fun park.There are well maintained bathrooms, a basketball court, several pavilions, and a giant chicken to boot!

This is a great park. Its often busy during the day and my 3/4 pick up truck doesnt fit well in the tight parking lot. Those are the only negative things for me.Theres access to the green belt at a great spot. We visit this park several times a week, rain or shine. See you there.

I really liked the park it was clean and loved that it was close to the river you can go take a little stroll. Had a mini water park for the kids and a park. And a nice covered area to have a party it also had a basketball court. The bathrooms were nice and clean.

Best splash pad near Boise. Great shade canopies, places for parents to sit with full visual of the entire pad. Swing set gets ridiculously hot, there is no shade near it. Play equipment is engaging and there is good ability to see clear across the playground to keep track of your little.

Great playground. Greenbelt access. Nice Basketball hoops. Soccer field. Parking is very small, thats the only downside.

This is a wonderful and beautiful park. I especially love the trails. My only complaint is a small thing, the foder beneath the playground is a bit bouncy. I know it seems nitpicky, but a park I went to as a kid had the same stuff. I sprained my ankle, The weight of my body coupled with the pressure of the material bouncing back against my foot made it a lot worse. So make sure your kids are very careful on that stuff, I know I sound stupid saying that though.

Brand new playground and splash pad. Going to be great when its finished. As of 5/22/20 it was still under construction. Park also has a large covered gazebo/shelter with picnic tables, great for large parties of maybe 50 or 60 people. Park connects to Eagle greenbelt along the river. Fantastic walking / running / biking path.

Right on the greenbelt, a really cool splash pad, fairly big, updated equipment, sno-cone shack and a pretty big shelter. Our kiddos love it.

Lots of musical instruments and slides splash pad. Dark brown plastic fake mulch. Hooks up with a bike trail that I think is the green belt.

The park is nice, large playground and splash-pad. The playground is closed as of today as they are expanding the splash pad. This is an excellent and popular place for family photos and plenty of trails for joggers, bikers and dog walkers.

A really nice park right off of the greenbelt and near Eagle Plaza! They have picnic tables out in the open and in a covered area. There are BBQs here and a lot of well kept landscape for kids to run around and have fun. Its really neat to read the historical stuff there about The Merrill Egg farm that burnt down as well. All in all, a great place to visit.

Review №34

This is a great park to visit. Its easy to have multiple kids playing at this park because you can actually see them from a few different benches. The only downside is if they go behind the climbing wall, other than that you can watch them all at the same time. The bathrooms are clean, theres places to eat lunch, the toys are not worn and broken. Its a great space to relax and get some fresh air.

This is a great little park for just walking around or if you have little ones with you theres a play area. Summer evenings are especially nice with the warm glow of the sun amongst the trees creating nice shadowing effects. Birds chirping, butterflies flying around.. Really peaceful

Great quite little park nestled away moments away from the river. I love that they even have a doggie water bowl at the base of their drinking fountain, such a thoughtful touch! In the summer theres a little shaved ice shack! We ourselves dont have children but we appreciate the cool play place complete with a mini rock climbing wall.

Great water feature for kids. The park has a couple bridges one over the river that has a great view . Plentiful trails to stops along the river depending on river level. My children love the adjustable basketball backboards. Volleyball nets and decent seat. There is Merrills Giant Rooster Sparky that is in a chicken coop no Yolk!

I was not expecting to fine such a nice park when we were riding bikes on the green belt last weekend. There was a shack that was selling shaved ice.

Gr
Review №81

Path along the river is sometimes dirt, but well maintained. Bridges over the river are great for photo moments. The park itself has lots to do including a water park (different fountains that spray water), jungle gym, and covered picnic area. Inside the covered pavilion there are sliding dividers in case your party is large and needs all the space or is small and only needs one section. Theres also a shaved ice place that operates on weekends as well as weekdays.

Great park, with lots of trails to explore. Decent sized kids park, party pavilion, and space for sports, like volleyball, or soccer. Come prepared with bug spray if you are anywhere near the water - the mosquitoes are pretty bad. Lots of great spot and for family photography too.
