Kathryn Albertson Park - Park in Boise - 1001 S Americana Blvd, USA

A well maintained 41acre park on side of Boise river in Boise city having well paved wide pathways, ponds, fountain. Park as well as parking both are wheel chair accessible. You can watch wildlife also. Dog are allowed. Clean public toilets. Gardens well maintained. Lot of flowers. Remain open from sunrise to sunset. Biking, fishing, boating, swimming not allowed.

Beautiful park and an easy walk that loops around. So many pretty fall colored trees and birds singing, a perfect afternoon walk.

Such a beautiful place in fall, can't wait to go in spring! Also it's so nice not to have to avoid cyclists!!

The park has birds of different kinds flying everywhere, turtles, ducks everywhere, fish, insects, a fountain that shoots water from out of rocks, and two pavilions you can reserve for parties. Also, it has little trails all over the place, it's a little woodsy. They have restrooms outside and inside the park.

I've lived in Idaho most of my life, and this was my first experience with this little piece of paradise. The park is extremely peaceful and beautiful. You really hardly realize that you're in the middle of Boise.

October 2023: We took the family on a nice late-september stroll in hopes of finding a spot to host our 2024 wedding ceremony. Goal achieved! Beautiful and quite place to laugh and spot flowers, insects, fish, turtles, deer, birds, etc. The kids had a great time, and mom and dad swooned over the thought of being married there next year! The weather was perfect, and the location (Rookey) was breathtaking. As a bride who had no intention in a "rustic/barn" wedding, my options were limited within the valley. The price and beauty of Kathryn Albertsons can not be beat. I DO recommend that you call the BP&R phone and get your reservations taken care of through an actual employee. I set my reservation through their website and then found out 4 weeks later that there was a DT boise event that interfered with our chosen wedding date. So CALL CALL CALL so you do not get a stressful phone call before it's too late to change your wedding date. *will update after wedding ceremony takes place*

Nice park for a "walk in the woods" kind of experience, a contrast with the more "developed" experience of Ann Morrison Park across the street. That's all the more interesting since the placement of every rock, pond, and tree was planned out when the park was built. There are information panels along the trails explaining the history and development of the park. There are several hard-surface trails that wander through the park past several ponds and a couple of shelters. The park is popular with birders, and there are several information panels explaining the different birds you might see. There are a number of stone benches where you can sit and rest and take in the quiet. Dogs are allowed on-leash. Restrooms are available at the parking lot. No picnic tables.

A wonderful place that is usually quieter in the mornings. But you'll often see wildlife just relaxing and walking around. In the afternoon there are a lot more people but with all the trees there are a lot of photo spots that are nice and quiet.
