A new 54-acre wetlands area in the City of Boise, Idaho, offers community members a natural environment with a walking path and recreational park. A collaborative effort among the Boise department of public works, Ada County Highway District (ACHD) and the Settlers Irrigation District (SID) made the Hyatt Hidden Lakes Reserve project possible.
“Everybody got something they needed,” says Bruce Mills, ACHD deputy director. “I think the community is really going to like the park.”
