BOISE, Idaho — The summer heat we expect every year in Idaho is starting to roll in, with temperatures expected to reach a high of 86 in the Treasure Valley. Thankfully, parks across Boise are gearing up to open a variety of water features to help the public beat the heat and keep enjoying the city's parks.

Boise isn't the only city opening water features as the temperature warms in the Valley. The city of Nampa is hosting a ribbon-cutting event for a new splash pad at Midway Park on Wednesday, May 22. In addition to the new splash pad, the park also features an outdoor gym, basketball courts, and a practice field.
