This is an amazing facility. Ive never been to a concert here, but the sports facilities are top notch. I enjoy walking on the walking trail, and there are enough natural elements to make it a fun place to spot wildlife.

This is a beautiful huge multi activity venue. My husband as and fished on one of side of the lake as kids jumped in for a swim, kayaked & frolicked on the other side. I just sat there took everything in as I watched the sunset.

Great location to sit under a canopy out of the sun to grab a bite to eat. Right on premises threre is a outdoor playground where your kids could play, theres some bathrooms there with a water sprint for you to drink. If youre in the area you can come here for a visit and overall enjoy it. Recommended.

I love the Portneuf Wellness Center! The pictures posted are from a private party set up from the Fort Hall Casino and Hotel where I work.I love all the features this park had to offer! The dirt bike trails, the path around the park, the fishing, swimming, big fields, and play ground. You can rent the pavilions otherwise, its first come, first serve. I highly suggest you reserve your spot because its a very popular place. The bathrooms are usually clean. Its a fun, free place. Theres a snow cone shack in the parking lot in the summer.No dogs allowed in the waterNo tents or stakes on the beachI wish the beach sand, was more of a sand and less like a kitty litter.I wish the sprinklers didnt go on mid day while occupancy is the highest (I fb dm them to no response to tell them in case they didnt know it was happening)Although I like the playground feature, its not a good playground at all or at least for toddlers. Cant reach much of the equipment. Also, dont wear sandles unless you want wood chips stuck in them. Also, I was under the impression that fish and game was doing something with salmon in the section between the lake and dirt bike trailsFurthermore, I work in the amphitheater as a Season Ticket Holder Suite Server for the past four years. Ive never missed a concert but the city did use the amphitheater on July 4th in 2018 and it did not go well (bad service to suites, warm beer, inexperienced staff) and it got the whole city in a huff. Additionally, the amphitheater is severely underused! In other major (ok, Pocatello isnt a major city) cities, there are free weekly movie nights for the city, use by the local high school bands, local band festivals, conferences etc... Its a shame that it doesnt happen. Also, weve been extremely lucky that weve had the people from Utah that we do running the show but it would be nice to have a local company with just as much experience around to do it!We need more events booked, our season ticket holders pay so much for their suites but dont get their moneys worth, and less and less supporters are paying each year. One whole section of suites (6) was dedicated to upgrading normal ticket holders. Thats never happened before this year. So, having dedicated servers and priority alcohol sales is the only thing we can give them and that makes the normal ticket holders MAD! Especially when we do absolutely no walk up service at our pop up bar and when the concessions and vendors run out of alcohol. Running out of food and alcohol really inconveniences everyone, obviously.I hope the city really pulls it together when they run events, they need to keep as many local people, who have worked the concerts on a regular basis, a chance to work the events to help guide them and prevent a bad experience for the guest!

Beautiful grounds with so many options of things to do. However, its super dirty. Garbage everywhere and not even any garbages in/around the swim/sand area. That probably perpetuates the garbage issue.

I would love it if pocatello had a clean place where I could bring my dogs too. The dog pond is nice but Im not swimming in it so why isnt there a place where we can both swim huh!?

Sometimes this place is great but not often. I wish the beach area had sand not rocks. It also smells bad. There is often litter and dead fish in the water.

Review №15

The lake is pretty, the volleyball courts are awesome, the walking path is great, and the beach is fun, but the sand is super hard and hurts your feet, which is a huge bummer. The playground is unique and fun for kids, although I think the park is big enough to have more than one playground. There is tons of grass for sports. Great place. And did I mention there are great concerts here too? I just hope the county maintains it well.

A very nice place to take a walk with or without a dog or child. You can walk it, run it or bike it. You are allowed to fish, swim or canoe o the lake. Lots of covered/uncovered picnic places.

Good place to walk or meet up with a friend. Bathrooms are far from the water area so you will have to walk a good amount of feet before you get to one. They also do concerts on the other side of the fence every now and again. The sound for a concert is good considering the amphitheater style.

Review №28

Wow what a place! From the walking trails, to a man made lake that you can fish or swim in! This huge complex has a place for anyone to come and sweat something out! Its also has a great view of the Pocatello hills and Fort Hall Reservation plains! It really awesome!

Loveeeee this addition to pocatello/chubbuck! Awesome place to go in summer!!

Jo
Review №39

It was so rural. Even with a mass of inconsiderate people there were still open areas where you could go. They do need more frequent bathrooms. Now they are really far apart and when you have trouble walking it is a bother.I did find a lot of great things there like where they hold concerts and the piers where you can fish.

The complex is wonderful, I couldnt say enough good things about the rest of the complex, but the lake is uncomfortable. The rocks make access to the lake both uncomfortable and difficult.

I honestly believe there is enough room for everyone.. but please remember..docks are for people fishing and there are very sharp hooks in the water past the swimming boundary.. its there for a reason.. we both fish and swim there but in the appropriate areas.. docks are not there for diving nor sunbathers..

This is one of Pocatellos best feature. As Chubbuck is planning on expanding as big as it is, the Wellness complex is a start at the new Pocatello.

Review №56

Its a good place to be and everything is taken care of well. For the fishing, you shouldnt expect anything more than how it sounds. With that that taken in, it is good place with many things to do with family and friends, and even just yourself. The only problem I can make up is the concern for fish. Taking into account some things about the pond make me think twice about it. Whether this is correct, I dont know. But, the fish almost have nothing close to a natural environment. I be been told their first go sit of algae alone, making them not great for eating if you do catch and also causing some of them to die if starvation during the summer. They dont respond well to lures because of this as well. I love the idea of the wellness complex and fishing, however, if we can, I think we should make a better environment for the fish.

A beautiful place to walk. There is a path around the little man made lake. You can swim in the lake and enjoy the beach when it is warm enough. There is a playground, it looks like it would be better for slightly older children, but really fun. There is an amphitheater and a dirt bike trail. There are volleyball courts and a ton of soccer fields.We came up here for the Fourth of July to watch the fireworks. I had been hoping for more going on during the day, but there were not a lot of vendors. However, the firework display was wonderful!

So much to do here, you could stay active for hours. Has brought so much fun and exciting events to the community and has helped town events become so much better. I like to walk my dog there with my family and I also like playing sports there.

A beautiful place to visit and walk around. Definitely worth going to if you want to be alone, but around people. Also very good for bringing friends. There is a beach (as good as a beach in Idaho can be) for the little water reservoir, and fishing. Lots of green grass and some paths to walk around on too.

I love this place. A lot of people are too judgemental about it. I dont know what they expect. I travel all over the country and go to all sorts of complexes and places to watch concerts. This place is great for concerts especially in Pocatello. People need to start appreciating what they have but of course all they want to do is b****
