City Acres Park

Park Overview

Located in Nampa, Idaho, City Acres Park is a cozy quiet place spanning about 1.5 acres on 4th Street North. Despite its modest size, this neighborhood park offers recently revamped playground equipment and a basketball court. It's the kind of place where you can catch your breath from the daily grind while the kids burn off some energy.

Amenities

The playground here is a hit with the little ones, featuring equipment that's both safe and well-maintained. Kids particularly love the fire pole for those daring moments, slides (including a bigger one that older kids can zoom down), and swings with at least one designed with babies and toddlers in mind.

If you're feeling a bit competitive, the park's outdoor basketball court might be calling your name. Recently upgraded, it's fantastic for a casual game with friends or for teaching the kids some moves.

Features

Need some room to move? The open play area offers plenty of green space to toss a frisbee, spread out a picnic blanket, or just lie back and cloud-watch. This grassy expanse is excellent for kids to run wild, and your four-legged friends are welcome too - just be sure to use the dog waste station to keep things clean.

On warm days, you'll appreciate the drinking fountain to stay hydrated after all that play. Planning to stay a while? Grab one of the three picnic tables for lunch or an afternoon snack.

You'll come across several benches scattered throughout where you can sit and supervise or just enjoy some people-watching, but you might want to bring your own chairs for a better view of the playground. While there are some trees offering shade, it's a bit limited in places, so don't forget your sunscreen on sunny days.

Location

Tucked within a residential area, City Acres Park is just a short walk away for many local families. You can easily find street parking nearby. The park is used for neighborhood gatherings and celebrations.
