Downtown Boise Announces Its Newest Park

In a recent post to social media, the City of Boise announced plans for a brand new park to open later this year.

"A brand-new park, Kaixo Corner, is coming to the heart of downtown this summer!" the City of Boise said on its Facebook page.

"The park, named after the Basque greeting word kaixo (KAI-sho) for 'hello', will soon join our city's park system."

According to a photo shared by the City of Boise, the park will be located at 6th Street and Grove Street.

While a majority of people are excited for the new park to open this summer, some shared their concerns on the City of Boise's Facebook post about the new park.

"Horrible waste of money and space," read one comment.

"A park instead of a parking lot is a waste of money and space? Please explain why?" another questioned.

On the other hand, others commended the City of Boise for honoring its rich Basque history.

"Boise is such a breath of fresh air as beautiful as it's welcoming people," read one of the top comments. "So proud of our state capitol, I wish other cities like Eagle and Star would follow its welcome style. Idaho is too great to hate."
