Willow Lane Athletic Complex
4623 W WILLOW LN
Willow Lane Athletic Complex is a 57 acre, special use park,
adjacent to the Boise River Greenbelt. The athletic complex
features several softball fields, a soccer field, playground and
dirt jump park. Dogs are not allowed in
Willow Lane Athletic Complex during softball games.
The Willow Lane wetlands project was constructed last winter and
planted Spring 2012. In partnership with Boise Parks &
Recreation, The Wetlands Group (TWG) has been monitoring the area
since construction was completed and has noted high rates of growth
of desirable plants such as grasses, willows and cotton woods both
from plantings and natural regeneration. TWG has done
selective weeding -- primarily goatheads -- and has re-seeded areas
with low germination rates. As part of the Army Corps of
Engineers permit, TWG will continue to monitor the site 5+
years. The project is considered a success to this point with
visible plant communities, including black cottonwoods , willows,
and grasses.
