Today, on Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor the cultural and foundational contributions of Indigenous People to our city and Idaho. We are committed to promoting the prosperity and well-being of the Native American, Alaskan Native, First Nations and Indigenous community in Boise.

We're listening. The Ridge to Rivers Fall Trail User Survey is now open! We want to hear from you on management strategies, accessibility in the foothills, and resources available to trail users. ☑️Take the brief online survey: surveymonkey.com/r/R2Rsurvey2023 Happy Trails!

One of the swings on “Gentle Breeze” (2021) by Matthew Mazzotta in @boiseparks’ Cherie Buckner-Webb Park is currently closed off for repairs. We are working closely with an engineer to weld and reinforce the design to ensure public safety. Use caution in and around the site.

Coming soon to NW Boise... Primrose Park! 🌳 We look forward to playing on the playground with the neighborhood kids who helped us turn dirt today. More details: cityofboise.org/news/parks-and…

Congratulations to Downtown Maintenance team member Don Porter for receiving the "Downtowner of the Year" award from @DowntownBoise 🎉 Thanks for all you do for the community!

September 11, 2001 🇺🇸 We will never forget. Today, we honor those who were killed, their loved ones, and the first responders who rushed in to save thousands of lives. Reflect at the World Trade Center Memorial at Idaho Fallen Firefighters Memorial Park.

@laralaradisney @CityOfBoise @BoiArtAndHist @BrentToderian Glad you are enjoying it!

Working from a public park with free city wifi, wooden tables built around new shade trees, a front-facing coffee shop, and art you can swing on. Has there ever been a better glow-up than this old private parking lot?!

Services close at the end of the day on Labor Day (Sept. 4) as another busy float season on the Boise River wraps up! 🌊 Visit floattheboise.org to view the weekend shuttle bus schedule and rental hours at Barber Park. Be safe. Have fun. #floattheboise

@ColleenFellows @CityOfBoise @achdidaho Hi Colleen, thanks for letting us know! We’ll message you to get more details. Our Community Forestry team will be able to help.

I think I can still sneak my car out of the driveway. This sycamore maple has been dropping big limbs for the last few weeks. This one's a doozy. @CityOfBoise @boiseparks @achdidaho

Lots to celebrate at the new Celebration Pavilion in Julia Davis Park! A beautiful reservation site, permanent restrooms in the park's East End just off the Greenbelt, and pathway improvements including new lighting. Check it out the next time you visit!
