Boise Parks and Recreation kicks off 2023 dog off-leash season at three city parks

The Boise Parks and Recreation Department's seasonal dog off-leash program started at Ann Morrison Park, Optimist Youth Sports Complex and Simplot Sports Complex.

The 2023 off-leash season started at Ann Morrison Park and Optimist Youth Sports Complex on Wednesday, Nov. 1, which ends Feb. 28, 2024, and now at Simplot Sports Complex on Tuesday, Nov. 21, which ends Feb. 15, 2024.

All three parks are available for off-leash use from sunrise to sunset except Boise River Greenbelt paths, parking lots, roads and playgrounds. Dog owners are reminded to please pick up after their pets and be mindful of other park users during the off-leash season.

At Ann Morrison Park, Together Treasure Valley Dog Island will remain open throughout the winter, but the seasonal water drawdown in the ponds surrounding the island is underway. Signs warning users of potential unsafe ice as temperatures drop will be posted at the park. Be careful and keep your pet away from the banks.
