Some of the best areas in Garden City Idaho surround Ann Morrison Park. This locale is beautiful and gives nice mountain views. It has plush greens and nice size lakes. I usually work out in the area because it makes me feel great and has a serene backdrop. I enjoy that Garden City has clean air. There is a huge difference when you enter other territories. The town has some specialty restaurants, but most are regular chain brands. There is ample shopping around town. The community has annual festivities around the end of the year. This is a great place to raise a family or to settle as a single adult. Read Less
