Amazed by the view of the Idaho State Capitol!! Took these photos in May 2022. Can't wait to come back here for fall and winter..
William Coon
Very nice. If you are into trains and history good place to visit.
Michele Jarvis
Beautiful park with amazing views of the Boise Train Depot and downtown Boise.
Cullen Anderson
Great views of downtown and the old train depot here. Fair amount of man made water features visible, but still, many photo opportunities abound.

Well maintained and designed. Kept our 9yr olds interested for longer than we expected (or were willing to stay). Older kids liked it too. Koi, ducks, multiple pools, manicured bushes, all watched over by the old train depot.
Steve Breivik
Very nice place. Lots of frogs, fish and geese.

If you're looking for a great place to have lunch, meet friends, or have a romantic evening then you should visit Platt Gardens.

Platt Gardens is located next to the Boise Depot and overlooks part of Downtown Boise. Dedicated in 1928 and named after Howard V. Platt who was the general manager of the Oregon Short Line Railroad.

Several improvements were made to the Platt Gardens over time including the reintroduction of plants and fish by the Idaho Water Garden and Koi Society. There are several water falls and fountains to watch and listen to here.
