Kathryn Albertson Park

Kathryn Albertson Park is a 41-acre green space in Boise featuring paved trails that wind through natural areas with ponds and wetlands. The grounds also contain native plant gardens that highlight the region's botanical diversity across multiple landscape types.

Boise established this park in the late 20th century as part of an effort to connect green spaces throughout the city. The creation reflected a broader urban planning goal to expand access to nature for all residents.

Schools regularly bring students here to study local ecosystems and observe animals in their natural surroundings. This hands-on learning approach has made the site an important outdoor classroom for the region's environmental education.

The park is open from sunrise to sunset with free parking available at the main entrance. The paved pathways make it easy to navigate and accessible for visitors with varying mobility needs.

The park features designated observation areas where visitors can watch herons, beavers, red foxes, and waterfowl in their natural habitat. These specific zones allow wildlife viewing without disturbing the animals' daily routines.
