Garden City

Garden City, located in Ada County, Idaho, is surrounded by Boise, but still has its own municipal government. 

The legal boundaries between Garden City and Boise are hard to decipher, and the amenities offered in Boise are also available to Garden City residents.

Plantation Country Club, located on the north edge of the city, is one of the longest continually operating golf courses in Idaho.

The city’s greenbelt path runs almost continuously from its eastern boundary along the south side of the Boise River to the western city limits, where it meets up with the Boise City leg.

On the north side of the river is a 1.5-mile nature walking path that winds through wildlife habitat from Glenwood Street to Eagle Island.

Thousands of visitors come to the Western Idaho Fair held each August, and thousands more come to enjoy the races offered at Les Bois Horse Racing Track and the ball games at the Boise Hawks Baseball Stadium. 

Many business organizations use the fairground facilities for sales events and shows.
