Providing low-cost, accessible play space is a cornerstone of Let’s Move Boise. Since 2011, we have hosted a variety of programs with the goal of getting kids and adults active. In 2013, Let’s Move Boise is focused on support of Walk 150, a sesquicentennial project.
WALK 150
The Mayor has issued a challenge for citizens to walk 150 miles in 2013. Log your miles at http://www.Walk150.org Kids and adults who reach 150 miles are eligible for prizes!
Local schools are competing for prizes to reward the most miles and highest percentage of participants in spring and fall contests.
To encourage more adults to participate, Let’s Move Boise is coordinating a business challenge from June 1-Nov. 30, 2013. Learn more at www.walk150.org.
WHAT ELSE IS UP?
Since 2011, Let’s Move Boise has hosted a series of events, including:
- Let’s Move Boise $1 Skate Day at Idaho IceWorld
- Zoo Boise Discount Day
- Open Gym Day at local schools
- Let’s Move Boise $1 Swim Night
Let’s Move has also been an active partner in the Boise Bike Crawl and the Junior League of Boise’s Kids in the Kitchen.
We support healthy activities offered at schools and health care facilities, including the 2012 Cynthia Mann Elementary PTO Have a Healthy Heart Fun Run and the St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital’s Youth Engaged in Activities for Health (YEAH!) program.
MAPPING PLAYSPACES
A cornerstone of the Boise Parks & Recreation comprehensive plan is a map of parks and amenities that is used in prioritizing projects and identify funding opportunities for future improvements. For an overview, see the Executive Summary. A detailed list of parks and facilities by geographic areas of the city is listed in the Park Operations and Resource Management chapter of the comprehensive plan.
