Boise-area residents now have a brand-new outdoor destination to enjoy: Expo Idaho has opened a new park and playground along the Greenbelt, giving families, joggers, and neighbors another welcoming spot to gather along one of the city’s most beloved recreational corridors.
The addition brings fresh amenities to the Greenbelt, the beloved paved pathway that winds through Boise and connects parks, neighborhoods, and the Boise River. Expo Idaho — the Ada County fairgrounds and events campus located on Glenwood Street — sits adjacent to the Greenbelt, and the new park and playground expand its public-facing footprint in a meaningful way.
The opening represents a genuine community win. The Greenbelt is already one of Boise’s most treasured assets, drawing walkers, cyclists, and families year-round. A new playground and park space along that route means more opportunities for children to play and for families to linger outdoors, all within easy reach of the path that so many Boiseans rely on for recreation and connection.
Expo Idaho hosts some of the region’s largest events — from the Western Idaho Fair to trade shows and community gatherings — and this new outdoor space signals a commitment to serving the public beyond those big event days. With the park now open, neighbors and Greenbelt users can enjoy the grounds as a welcoming, accessible green space throughout the year.
As fall settles over the Treasure Valley and families look for places to get outside before winter arrives, the timing of the opening is a welcome treat. Whether you’re finishing a Greenbelt ride, taking a weekend stroll, or simply looking for a new playground for the kids, Expo Idaho’s newest addition is ready and waiting.
