BOISE, Idaho — Boise Parks and Recreation broke ground Thursday on a major renovation project at Veterans Memorial Park in the West End, bringing new amenities to one of the city's most popular recreational spaces.
The $660,000 project will add an 18-hole disc golf course, ADA-accessible pathways, and a nature playground to the already well-used park.
"It's just our favorite park, it's got the most amenities," said Shayna Fields, a Boise resident who frequents the park with her family.
Fields expressed excitement about the upcoming nature playground addition.
"That sounds awesome! I think he will really enjoy that. Especially getting his hands involved," Fields said.
The upgrades align with the city's goal of ensuring every Boise family lives within a 10-minute walk of a park. Mayor
