“This time last year, we were entering an uncertain fall season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fast forward to the fall of 2021 and we continue to innovate by adding outdoor classes, new camps
and activities to keep the whole family engaged. Please know our team will continue to maintain
the health and safety protocols that have allowed us to fully and successfully open our business
practices this year. Our hope is the programming offered by our Parks and Recreation team in
the coming months will create an uninterrupted and awesome experience for our customers. On
behalf of Mayor Lauren McLean, the Boise City Council and our Parks and Recreation Commission,
please enjoy the change of seasons with a healthy and affordable activity.”
