Esther Simplot Park

3206 W Pleasanton Ave, Boise, ID 83702 · 56 acres · North River

Parent notes

The swim-friendly ponds with gentle, beach-style edges are the summer draw — pack water shoes and sunscreen, shade is still filling in. No pets in the park or ponds, which many parents appreciate. Quinn's Pond and the whitewater park are next door.
