Geocache Description:

Come visit the Esther Simplot Park and Whitewater River Park. Coordinates for the final are available to any WiFi enabled device at the publised coordinates. This is NOT a chirp. Use the parking suggestion and plan to walk 1 to 2 miles and find a few other caches along the way.

This cache takes you on a walk in the Esther Simplot Park, Whitewater Park, and Greenbelt areas in the Waterfront District. It is all public parks or streets, so there is no need to enter or cross any private yards.

Esther Simplot has become synonymous with the performing arts in Boise since moving here in 1972 as the wife of industrialist J. R. Simplot. Her untiring devotion and commitment have included co-founding the Boise Opera Company and construction in 1992 of the Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy and the Academy Annex in 1996. Esther formed an early appreciation of the arts in her home state of Wisconsin and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Indiana with a degree in music. She subsequently moved to New York City, where she performed with the Riverside Church Choir, the Canterbury Choral, and the Master Choral, and sang at Carnegie Recital Hall and the Worlds Fair. Until his death in 2008, Esther and J.R. Simplot sponsored numerous artistic efforts. Their commitment to the arts have enriched the lives of performers and audiences alike throughout the Treasure Valley. The land for the park was made possible by donations from JR and Esther Simplot to purchase 16.9 acres adjacent to 39 acres of land in part donated to the City of Boise by the Quinn-McEntee family.

Esther Simplot Park includes trails, docks, wetlands, boardwalks, shelters, grassy open areas, a playground, bridges and restrooms. A meandering stream will connect the park's two ponds with Quinn's Pond. The park is the latest example of how thoughful planning can increase a park's benefit. Helping a community reduce flood risk to property and protect river water from pollution. The park will feature off-leash use in all areas with a seasonal variability.
