I would like to create a youth league for “beach” volleyball on the sand court near the fairgrounds skate park. I am welcoming input from families. If your child (boys and girls, ages 7-14) would be interested, please call me! If we have a good response, I will set up scrimmages and/or games!

Boundary County is committed to providing safe recreational opportunities for the citizens and visitors to our community, and maintain, through a Parks and Recreation Board, two public parks and two public boat launch facilities, and offers a variety of structured activities for youth and adults alike.

Memorial Park is located by the Boundary County Fairgrounds immediately west of Bonners Ferry and boasts a playground, a covered pavilion for family or group functions, picnic facilities, a dump station for recreational vehicles and one of the best skateboard parks in North Idaho. In addition, there are four softball fields, a soccer field and lighted tennis courts.

Riverside Park is located just off the District 2 Road at the north end of the Kootenai River Bridge, featuring two softball diamonds and bleachers to allow spectators to watch either game. A number of local and regional tournaments are held at Riverside Park each summer. In addition, the park features a natural area developed by local Boy Scouts and volunteers, featuring a pond, native flora and a beautiful habitat for birds and other animals.

Boundary County also owns and maintains two boat launches on the Kootenai River, which provide docks for fishing. The Deep Creek Boat Launch, located on County Road 18 between Bonners Ferry and the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge, features restroom facilities and picnic tables. The Copeland Launch, located on County Road 45 north of the Mt. Hall Junction, has restroom facilities and enters into one of the smoothest parts of the river.
