Quiet neighborhood park with Oregon Trail historical site.

Nice area for a hike. The trails on top of the rim are all-weather trails. There is a restroom that is open during daylight hours, even in winter. The trail on the North end going down from the rim is paved, but steep. It can be tricky if it's icy.

Easy walking path on the rim, nice views of the foothills & Boise valley. It is a dessert area, not timbered.

Don't come here looking for a thousand springs: it looks like there are now a few subdivisions on the springs in the gully below. If you do come to this spot, do so for the history perhaps, as this is part of the Oregon trail. The signs indicate that pioneers on the Oregon Trail would see the springs below and try to find a way down there: the fairly narrow path they did find is known as the Kelton Track. It's not a very big park and there are houses everywhere, but the view of rock formations and wildflowers were nice.
