We love this park, especially in the spring, summer, and fall. It's a bit bleak in the winter. It's a place to experience nature. The best time to visit is in the early morning. You'll see more wildlife then. We've seen mink, deer, heron, ducks, geese, turtles, and many birds.
This is my favorite local park. It is interesting in every season. Different birds come and go and several rarities have been found. Deer and coyotes are often seen. There are a couple shelters, benches for just sitting and enjoying the wildlife and scenery. Public restrooms are available although in the past there have been porta-potties in the winter.
Beautiful place to go for a nice nature walk! In a convenient location, with a nice parking lot. Even in the fall we saw plenty of wildlife. Can't wait to see it again in the spring. I've seen deer, ducks, geese, frogs, turtles, bees, butterflies, dragonflies, and more.
Great park for walks. They have some paved and some unpaved trails. There is a small area with a little water feature that can be reserved. Ann Morrison Park is across the street. You could easily spend time at both parks in a day.
Nice park with ponds, water lilies, birds, fishes, and even a deer. The paths are nicely curved with bridges and walkways along the water. We really enjoyed the park.
Love it! Feels like you're taking a walk in the woods. The only bummer is all the dog walking going on, it scares off the little creatures. But otherwise it's awesome to watch all the plant life as it changes with the seasons.
Beautiful place to walk in the spring, summer and fall. Not as nice on the winter when they drain the water. You can see all kinds of wildlife here early in the morning or evenings. Kids will love seeing turtles and bullfrogs. Deer can be seen pretty often.
I visited Katherine Albertson Park on June 3, 2024, around 5:30 p.m. to see how things had changed since March. It had rained heavily in the morning and It was still overcast do the temperature was pleasant. The air was redolent with the smell of recent rain and flowering trees and bushes.
I saw about a dozen types of wildflowers in full bloom: orange, blue, yellow, purple, white, pink, and rose. The pink water lilies covered the surface of the ponds and the yellow water iris lined the banks of the canals.
A turtle sunned himself on a rock, the geese and ducks paddled around the ponds, and many types of birds made beautiful background music. Toward the end of my walk I saw a young male deer walk across the path and into the trees where he stopped to nibble some leaves. His short horns were covered in velvet.
I went to this 47 acre park on a beautiful sunny mid-March Saturday with a mid-afternoon temperature in the low 60s. Luckily there was room in the parking lot even though there were a lot of people there.
When I got out of my car, I saw a dirt path so I went exploring. I had not known about the many dirt paths through the trees and bushes along the canals. The water in the two canals is low because the irrigation water has not been released yet.
I didn't see anyone else in this part of the park. I watched the Mallard Duck couples paddling in the low water of the canal. Traffic noise from nearby streets is pretty loud but you can ignore it. After an hour of exploring the dirt paths, I ventured into the main part of the park.
The paved paths are wonderful. There are many stone and iron benches along the paths where you rest or sit to watch the birds. There are informational signs that show the types of habitat and creatures you can find in the park. There are a lot of Canadian Geese in the park--they are common around Boise. I could hear several types of birds singing.
There are several ponds in the park where the geese and ducks swim.
The paved paths are wheelchair accessible. Dogs on leash are welcome. It's a great place to take your children to see some birds and flowers.
If you have never visited this wonderful park, I recommend you take a look.
