NEW COURT USE HOURS AND PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE AT MANITOU PARK

With the weather warming up and the days getting longer, Boise Parks and Recreation is instituting a new programming schedule and hours of play for the tennis and pickleball courts at Manitou Park. These changes are being made to address noise concerns raised by residents who live around this neighborhood park while balancing continued use of the popular pickleball courts at this park location.

Starting Tuesday, April 2, the tennis and pickleball courts at Manitou Park will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Boise Parks and Recreation reserves the right to use and program the courts when they are open for use. The courts will be locked in the evenings when play wraps up at 7 p.m. and unlocked in the morning at 8 a.m. so play can resume. The courts will be closed Sundays and Mondays going forward.

Any person(s) who attempts to remove the locks or enter the court after hours may be subject to penalty under Boise City Code sections 5-3-1(A) or 7-7A-11, or Idaho Codes 18-7008 and 18-7001.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work to find a compromise for all who visit and live in close proximity to Manitou Park. If you have any questions or feedback about this change, please contact Boise Parks and Recreation via email to connect with staff.
