Boise River Greenbelt

	Map		Reviews

As you walk along the Boise River Greenbelt, with its towering trees, lushgrowth and abundant wildlife, you may get a sense that this beautiful settinghas always been here for us to enjoy.

However, up until the 1960s, the river andits banks served as a convenient dumping ground for trash, industrial waste andraw sewage, and was severely degraded by years of neglect. In 1968, with public interest and support growing, the first Greenbelt Planand Guidelines were adopted by the Board of Parks Commissioners. A Greenbelt andP athways Committee was appointed in 1969 to guide the City of Boise as it workedto develop the Greenbelt, and in 1971 the first Greenbelt Ordinance was adopted which required a minimum setback of 70 feet for all structures and parkingareas. The City of Boise continued to slowly piece together a patchwork of landalong the corridor using several methods of acquisition including purchase,exchange, leasing and receiving donations of property by individuals, civicgroups and corporations.
