Visit some picturesque places in the Treasure Valley to enjoy a fun summer picnic! Here
are some of our favorites parks in the Valley for the best picnic spots near me:
Park Center Park, Boise
We are a little biased toward this charming park near the heart of Downtown Boise since it is within walking distance from our headquarters. There are often people walking loops, fishing, or bird watching here. Enjoy the views of this pond with a blanket, a basket of food, and some friends!
Fuller Park, Meridian
You can always enjoy the sunshine in the green space of Fuller Park in Meridian with baseball fields, a volleyball court, and a playground, plus pavilions and a fishing pond! It’s the perfect spot for a day in the sun with your family.
Wilson Creek Park, Nampa
Or head to Wilson Creek Park, Nampa to enjoy their playground in a natural setting with a wooded nature trail! It’s perfect for bird & wildlife viewing. Take your partner, situationship, or just a friend for a romantic picnic in this secluded park.
