Terry Day Park - Park in Boise - 1225 S Federal Way, USA

Terry Day Park ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the things I love about living in Boise is how much green space we have. The number of parks that we have never ceases to amaze me. Each one has their own distinct personality. These photos were taken on 6/2/23, when I stumbled upon this park while out running an errand. It’s one I had always meant to visit, but hadn’t.. I wasn’t able to go all the way back into the park because it was getting close to closing time. Enjoy!

This is a medium-sized playground that seems well-maintained, but its biggest unique feature is a zipline with a seat that every kid seems to LOVE. It has swings, shaded picnic tables, slides and other typically playground equipment, tennis courts, restrooms, and large grassy areas. The only negative to this playground is that it sits relatively close to the very busy Federal Way, but as long as you keep an eye on them, it's not a problem. It's still relatively quiet.

Fun park, equipment is dark so a bit hot for the summer. Picnic tables were great. We passed through on a trip and needed a park to eat in and let the 4 kids stretch their legs. Also needed potty. Well maintained park. Bathrooms were acceptable even for the girls the in our group.

It’s a small park with a big heart. Whenever I see a kid on that jungle gym / zip line, I wish I was a kid again so I could go on a ride and enjoy it as much as them. The pond has a nice variety of birds, but good luck catching a good pic of that heron (always takes off on ya!). I like to bring a burrito over from Adelita’s to munch while I give the stink eye to dogs waking past. There’s a few squirrels here that enjoy snacky’s, but they are bit more leery of humans than my regulars down by the river.

This is a nice, simple park for families. The zip-line makes it a family favorite. The play equipment is modest, but entertaining. They have tennis courts, a small field and a scenic walk around a pond. They have picnic tables to sit in the shade and a sheltered picnic area for birthday parties. They have single-person bathrooms and water fountains. The park is a little more difficult to get to from Federal Way in the sense that you have to make sure you are aware of what street you came from when turning onto Federal Way so you know whether to take a right or left onto Federal Way in order to find the park. For example, if you take Kootenai Street to get there, then you would need to turn RIGHT onto Federal Way to get to the park on the Right-hand side of Federal Way. If you take Overland Road to get there, then you will need to turn LEFT onto Federal Way to get to the park on the LEFT-hand side of Federal Way.

It's a very nice area overall: a cool playground with lots of climbing action and unique equipment. (Note: it is geared toward 5-12yo.) The tennis courts look maintained, as well. (Fall leaves being blown off during our visit.) There's also some nice lawn areas and a winding sidewalk (connects with neighborhood, I'm assuming?). My kid did hone in on multiple pieces of dog poop, so I think the dog walkers need to do better. Not sure if bathrooms were open but the water fountain wasn't on.

Very nice park lots of shade for when it's hot and open space for running around as well. Lots lots of nice benches and places to relax and watch the fowl around the lake.

Well maintained park, clean with a paved walking trail. The small pond is a great touch!
