West Boise's Hobble Creek pathway to be rebuilt in concrete through spring 2027

BOISE - The City of Boise is replacing an existing asphalt path at Hobble Creek Park in West Boise with a new concrete pathway. The pathway runs parallel to the Zinger Lateral and connects N. Meeker Avenue to N. Discovery Way.

The project is funded through the city's Neighborhood Investment Program and includes removing the aging asphalt pathway and replacing it with smooth concrete to improve user experience and accessibility, the Parks and Recreation project page says. A local contractor, Idaho Dirt Company, was awarded the bid. The work is expected to start mid-November 2026 and be completed in the spring of 2027.

The city asks people to stay out of all fenced and closed areas while the work is underway. Nearby neighbors and employees are encouraged to use W. Ashcreek Street to the south or W. Bridger Street to the north of the pathway to access Hobble Creek Park during the project.
