Together Treasure Valley Dog Island
A fenced dog island ringed by water with double-gated entries
About this park
Boise's flagship off-leash dog park: a fenced grass island ringed by a moat-like water channel, with a separate small-and-shy-dog area at the southeast corner. Double-gated entries, waste bags, portable toilets at the gates, and a large parking lot make it a serious, purpose-built off-leash destination.
Amenities
Together Treasure Valley Dog Island reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers repeatedly describe it as one of the best dog parks they've ever visited. The moated-island design is visually striking, and the double-gated entries plus shy-dog pen make it unusually safe for flight-risk or timid dogs. The sheer size gives high-energy dogs room to actually run.
Boise's most social off-leash scene: a daily core of regulars, disc golfers on the surrounding course, and visitors from across the valley. A few recent reviewers have flagged maintenance and occasional dog-on-dog incidents, so busy-hour awareness matters.

Before you go
The turf gets badly muddy through winter. Many regulars switch to Ann Morrison Park's winter off-leash field during the wet months and come back in spring. The pond draws heavy goose traffic, so expect droppings along the water edge.
Frequently asked
- Can dogs swim here?
- Yes. Two ramps lead into the water channel so dogs can swim out for fetch instead of jumping off the ledge. Watch for discarded fishing line near the water.
- Is there a small or shy dog area?
- A separate fenced section at the southeast corner suits small, timid, or flight-risk dogs, and the double-gated entries add a safety buffer.
- What's it like in winter?
- The turf gets badly muddy through the wet months, and many regulars decamp to Ann Morrison's winter off-leash field until spring.
- Anything to watch for around the park?
- An active disc golf course rings the dog area, so mind flying discs on the perimeter. Geese leave heavy droppings along the water edge, and a few visitors have flagged people loitering around the parking lot.
