Barber Park Event Center

Ada County’s crown jewel, Barber Park, is traditionally the starting point for over 125,000 Boise river tubers and rafters each summer. In addition to being used as a launching site, the park is a popular wildlife-watching spot with natural areas for bald eagles, waterfowl, and other creatures.

In 2007, the park will have a new convertible indoor/outdoor facility that will include an interactive education center and rentable event space for private parties and other local residents

• Provides indoor space for year-round use of the park
• Environmental education facility with hands-on curriculum for children
• Rentable facility with a catering/staging area to accommodate food service
• Ideal setting for family reunions, company picnics, corporate meetings, or any other special event
• Dividable space allows a facility to be used for up to four separate events
• Indoor seating for up to 249 people, outdoor seating for 192 people

• Exterior walls can slide open to provide natural ventilation and full access to the outdoors
• Reduced energy requirements through the use of natural daylighting design techniques
• Use of natural and low emitting materials to provide a healthy indoor environment
• Minimized impact on the site by replanting of removed trees on a 3 to 1 ratio
