2800 W CANAL ST
Shoshone Park is a
five-acre neighborhood park located at 2800 Canal St. near Vista
Avenue. The park features open play areas, picnic tables,
restrooms, two tennis courts and two practice fields for soccer and
other sports.
New playground equipment installed at Shoshone Park will provide
hours of fun for kids on the Boise Bench.
The new accessible play equipment by Landscape Structures is
rated for children ages 2-12 and features slides, overhead
equipment, a track ride and a swingset.
The $60,000 project, which was funded by the City of Boise,

The City of Boise acquired the property through purchase agreement
