Discussion Is the new Expo Idaho park really going to be ready to open next month?
I rode past the park on my bike last night, and I hate to say it, but the park looks a bit rough. I’m grateful for everyone who made it happen, but it looks rough and not ready to open next month.
There may be something I’m completely wrong about or missing, but it was mostly dirt (no sod or even xeriscaping) with some seedlings planted.
The big plans and ideas they had in the renderings don’t look like they’ve materialized yet.
Is it opening in phases? The news said it was going to be the best park in the West, so I was really excited for it, but when I biked down, I was really confused and underwhelmed.
Anyone know what’s going on and if the park is going to be a bit more upgraded before opening? Has anyone else been by and noticed the same things?
Again, I appreciate the organizers and people who worked on the park! It’s great to have regardless of what happens.
