MWDG to design Boise River Recreation Park

(Boise, Idaho) - The City of Boise has hired the McLaughlin Whitewater Design Group (MWDG), a Denver-based company, and CH2MHill and Quadrant Consulting, two local consultants, to design the River Recreation Park located on the Boise River between Main Street and Veterans Memorial Park.

A team of Boise City employees and volunteers reviewed proposals and recommended the McLaughlin team for the project. The contract was approved Feb. 12 by the Boise City Council.

The project, which will be constructed in a section of river that was channelized during the mid-1900s, will provide a more natural riparian setting and improved fish habitat. Special features include in-river drops, chutes and boulder obstacles in addition to seating areas for pedestrians.
