Situated along the Boise River and surrounded by Boise (and Eagle) on all sides, Garden City packs a big punch of recreational activity for its small population of about 13,000 residents. The new Whitewater Park allows experienced and novice kayakers, surfers, and paddleboard enthusiasts to experience the Boise River in new and fun ways. Garden City is bursting to the seams with new and popular coffee shops, breweries, and local pub cuisine. The Sandbar patio is perfect for a relaxing drink and dinner with live music right on the Boise River. When it comes to emerging cities in the Treasure Valley, Garden City is where it’s at. Thanks to some great visionaries, this formerly quiet city inside of Boise is now making its own waves and attracting more recreation-lovers to this vibrant part of Boise.
