Adventure
Camels Back Park is a local favorite. Here events take place like The Hyde Park Street Fair. There is a park for kids, excessive equipment, a large grassy area for activities, volleyball, tennis, basketball and so much more. The north side of this park also connects to the Ridge to Rivers Trail System; https://www.ridgetorivers.org/trails/interactive-map/
I have hiked many of these trails and enjoy them every time.

Barber Park is the start for rafting the Boise River. Here you can rent rafts and tubes for your float. Parking costs a few dollars but you can also get a bus ride back from Ann Morrison Park. This excursion takes about 2.5 hours. On this trip you'll see 2 parks and a very lazy enjoyable float with 3 small man made rapids. Great for all ages and experience levels. To make this more exciting stop by Idaho River Sports and rent a Stand Up Paddle Board and really put your balance to the test!

A nationally known skate park that has hosted The XGames before. it's nestled under the I84 Connecter, super small but so versatile. Board, Bike, scooter, blade, whatever you fancy it's just so cool to test your skills where the pros have been. Everyone is always welcoming here.

Sightseeing
Not a hike for the heat of the summer but fall or spring it's fantastic. See Boise from above. Bring some water for the pups. The start of this hike is Idaho State Old Penitentiary. Also on the list, check out the woman's prison for free before or after your hike.

When I was a kid this place was called clocktower, later named Quinns Pond, now after a giant renovation it's called Ester Simplot. Next door is Idaho River Sports to rent a kayak, or SUP. It also has a white water rapid. A big inflatable bag lifting giant concrete blocks to allow beginner to advanced kayakers the chance to practice. Fun to watch too if you don't want to partake.

3 hours away, I know it's forever, but worth it. This lake is so beautiful. So many backpacking and camping options in this area it is unreal. if you want the beauty of this lake but solitude. Drive east past Resfish to a turn on the south to Petit Lake. That lake is also crowded. On the dirt road you'll see a right hand turn with a small sign called Yellowbelly Lake. that's the lake you want to see. it's 15 min hike from the parking spot. Or the worst half mile drive you've ever driven. Choices....

Foodies and shoppers need a gathering area. This is your place. From high end steaks, organic ice cream, and even a place with hundreds of beers on tap. This location is sure to impress. Nothing here is what I could consider cheap but definitely worth a trip. Even if it's just to sit next to a fire at night and watch a water show at the amazing fountain.

The hands down, best, truly local burger in town (my opinion) and featured on man vs food. This place will impress any burger lover or mammoth man who wants to destroy 4 Lbs of food in a single sitting, just to win a t shirt and get your picture on a wall.

Flying Pie (only the ones on State st and Fairview) is my favorite pizza (Idaho Pizza also amazing). State and Fariveiw are highly recommended because of the environment and food. In august they have habanero pizzas. If your into serious heat, give them a try in august.
