This is Parkcenter Pond and Park in southeast Boise. It's stocked with fish and there are docks on the east end for the public to use, but they're not for boat-launching. The west end, where I stood to take the picture, is lined with restaurants. Sometimes, sailboarders take to the pond. The flat hill in the background is Table Rock - home to a myriad of antennas and a giant, lighted cross. There are hiking trails up to the top.

It does look a great spot for a picnic.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of Nose-Dive...

The mountain and your description of it reminded me of Mt A in Tucson.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent photo though and would look nice on about anything.
What a lovely park. I imagine a peaceful time sitting at one of the restaurants behind you. I see why it is called Table Rock.
ReplyDeleteLooks more like a lake than a pond, but above all it looks like something I would love to be out in a rowboat on with a fishing pole.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite spots to take my son fishing when we needed to "get out of
ReplyDeleteDodge", but I had too much work to do. Very relaxing and beautiful. The crappie are fun to catch and release. I have very happy memories there.
I often see families fishing at this pond. It's a treasure.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice posting
