I travel a lot for work and over the last year have made a habit of packing my board. Figured I should let the company finance my quest to ride as many parks across the country as I can.

Next week I will be in Boise and printed out directions to the 3 parks that I saw listed on whatever site I went to.

From memory (info is at work):

1 was across from an Albertsons and looked decent if it was the only thing close to where I will be. All pre-fab ramps but the mini half looked fun despite the lazy/cheap ass "build it out of 2 quarter pipes with the concrete as flat bottom" design.

1 was under an expressway but had a decent looking half

The 3rd was "Fort" something and was all concrete and looked fun as hell.

Any info on any of these? Am I missing any or should I completely skip any that I mentioned?

Thanks!

Found a real nice little concrete park right near the university off Fort Street and Garrison.

Convienently located right next door to the hospital

I checked into my hotel (for a conference tomorrow) and immediately got back in the rental car to find the place. I'm on Atlanta time so it was a midnight skate for me which means I didn't do much but i'm looking forward to going back over the next couple days with some rest.

As soon as I read this I jumped in the car and went over there. Less than 30 minutes away.

Very smooth. Tight transitions at the top of the snake, definately have to be paying attention going through there but it was pretty fun.

I was the only one there until a milf showed up with her 2 crazy little boys who bombed down the thing on these little sleds with wheels.

Thanks for the heads up man!

If you can get a day pass both Hailey and Ketchum have great skateparks. Hailey has a fullpipe and a 14' deep end. Both are up in the mountains so there might be snow.

Milton Freewater is on the oregon side it has a fun and very fast bowl

Buhl is about an hour and a half from boise but it is worth it: worlds largest cradle and more.
