Liberty Park

Park Overview

Tucked into the heart of Nampa, Idaho, Liberty Park spans a welcoming 18 acres that strike that perfect balance between open green spaces and fun recreational spots. Since 1995, when Mercy Hospital generously donated the land, this park has been the go-to place for families looking to play, athletes getting their game on, and neighbors gathering to enjoy their community.

The park features wide-open play areas dotted with mature trees that cast cool shade throughout the grounds - a little oasis of calm in the midst of city life. It's usually not packed with crowds either, so you can actually enjoy some peaceful moments here.

Kids gravitate toward the modern playground at the center of Liberty Park. While it's not massive, it's kept in great shape with slides and a tire swing that never fail to bring out the giggles from the younger set.

For sports enthusiasts, there's plenty to enjoy. The park features a baseball/softball field, a basketball court, a sand volleyball court, and a soccer field. During game seasons, these areas come alive with friendly competition and team spirit.

Visitor Amenities

Dog-Friendly Features

Dog owners will appreciate that Your leashed furry friends are welcome at Liberty Park. The expansive grassy areas give plenty of room for walks, and the thoughtfully placed dog waste stations with bags make it easy to clean up after your pet.

Accessibility Considerations

While Liberty Park has a lot to offer, it's worth noting that some areas might be challenging for those with mobility issues. The playground's wood chip surface isn't the easiest to navigate, and some parking spots require a bit of a trek to reach the pavilion if you're using mobility aids.
