6300 S Surprise Way
Barber Observation Point is a 2-acre
special use area in Southeast Boise overlooking the Barber Pool Conservation Area (BPCA).
The BPCA is owned and managed by the Idaho Foundation
for Parks and Lands. Located approximately 6 miles east
of downtown Boise on the Boise River, the BPCA contains one of the
last intact black cottonwood stands in the rapidly urbanizing Boise
Area. The BPCA is heavily utilized by over 200 species of wildlife,
including bald eagles and mule deer. This makes the BPCA a place of
tremendous significance to wildlife, conservationists, and the
scientific community.
Interpretive signs will help visitors to
the park learn about habitat
diversity (1.8

distance (3.5

drawing illustrating recreation facilities and landscape features
planned for a park site. It does not necessarily represent what
