Nestled in the North End, this popular park rises like a camel's sandy hump in the high desert. To really appreciate the park, bring your walking shoes and get your heart rate up with a vigorous hike to the top. It stretches out below you from the tree-lined North End streets to the prairie like desert and craggy Owyhee Mountains in the distance. After your climb, grill some burgers and play a set of tennis at the public courts (reserve in advance). If you've had enough activity, relax on the green lawn and watch Frisbee-loving dogs show off.

This is a great place for a hike. The views are fantastic.
More......with a two-year old who had a class. For that reason, we didn't get a chance to experience the walk up and see the views of the city described in other reviews.But, at the bottom, there is an impressive array of playground equipment, definitely enough to keep little ones entertained.
MoreThe park is a great place to just hang out as well as use as a starting point for a hike. There are so many trails that intersect nearby, you are bound to find one that works for you.
MoreNice view of the city from the top after a short climb up via stairs or graduated unpaved trail. Childrens play area and outdoor fitness equipment at the park at the bottom. Near to Hyde Park.
MoreReally great views, without leaving the central city area. There is the option of stairs straight up, or a winding path to take you up; it's a pretty quick jaunt up, probably only a 10 minute walk to stunning views of the city and foothills! It's easily walkable from downtown to here.
