Hyde Park - Fun, History and Challenges
Fun, history and
atmosphere
Every day in Hyde Park is filled with activity.
It has become the official mountain and touring bike headquarters of
the Treasure Valley. With access to the Boise
foothills trails and Hill Road, Hyde Park is where the trail ends.
As the historic center of the neighborhood, Hyde Park is also a gathering
place for kids and the subject and beneficiary of strong community participation
from Boise business and schools.

Boise Foothills.
Hyde Park is also home to some of the best antique shops and
specialty stores in the Treasure Valley.

History
Hyde Park is on the National Historic Register
for several reasons. First, the building and architecture of the areas
is unique. Secondly, a "sub" urban retail area of the age
of Hyde Park is unusual for any community. It rivals such famous areas
like the Niles District in Oakland for its character and quality. If
you would like to learn more about the area and some of buildings that
give Hyde Park its character click here.
Challenges
North 13th Street in Hyde Park was upgraded in the early
1980s through the cooperation of area property owners like Phil Murelaga
and the Hyde Park Merchants Association. Maintaining
the area's character and viability year-round while property values
continue to explode is creating new challenges.
