The City of Boise has approved a master plan design for the Charles F. McDevitt Youth Sports Complex, with the aim of enhancing the park’s amenities and creating a more neighborhood-friendly environment. The addition will include new features such as a nature playground, basketball court, bike trails, trees, and more. The city is set to begin the bidding process for a developer in the Fall of 2024.
Meanwhile, the pond at McDevitt Park is being stocked for anglers ahead of Free Fishing Day on June 8. The park is a popular spot for various activities like skating, scooting, playing baseball, and taking walks. With significant community engagement, the plan for the park includes input from nearly 900 neighborhood responses.
The development of new amenities, including a playground, basketball court, bike trails, a dog park, and more, is set to transform this previously vacant 10-acre parcel into a vibrant community space. Residents like Marlene Grabow, who have lived in the area for 25 years, are excited to see the unused land put to good use. Enhancing the education and activity opportunities for youth and children in the neighborhood is seen as a significant benefit.
