Practical notes

· These are designated off-leash areas inside city parks, not separate fenced dog parks in every case. Fencing is not recorded in the city data, so check the park before letting a dog off leash.
· Shade ratings are for the whole park, not specifically the off-leash area.
· Rules, hours and any closures are on the Boise Parks and Recreation site.
