Portneuf Wellness Complex

Very nice soccer fields. Parking was a bit crowded, but a spot was always available with a little patience. But…with such a big tournament taking place, more effort should have been put into emptying trash cans and servicing the porta potties daily. There was trash PILED everywhere (it’s a good thing it wasn’t windy!) and the bathroom facilities were disgusting.

ZZTOP in Pocatello. Thanks Portneuf for hosting this amazing band. We were just wondering if you had a photo opportunity? When we have visited other venues they have a photo op. Do you think this might be able to get a photo op in the future?

Really stinks(literally) when we use the field for football games not mud wrestling…. and the fields are pitted or literal swimming pools 🤦🏻‍♀️ The whole place smells like a fish pond. The end zone is literally a mud pit..

I love the Portneuf Wellness Center! The pictures posted are from a private party set up from the Fort Hall Casino and Hotel where I work. I love all the features this park had to offer! The dirt bike trails, the path around the park, the fishing, swimming, big fields, and play ground. You can rent the pavilions otherwise, it's first come, first serve. I highly suggest you reserve your spot because it's a very popular place. The bathrooms are usually clean. It's a fun, free place. There's a snow cone shack in the parking lot in the summer. No dogs allowed in the water No tents or stakes on the beach I wish the beach sand, was more of a sand and less like a kitty litter. I wish the sprinklers didn't go on mid day while occupancy is the highest (I fb dm them to no response to tell them in case they didn't know it was happening) Although I like the playground feature, it's not a good playground at all or at least for toddlers. Can't reach much of the equipment. Also, don't wear sandles unless you want wood chips stuck in them. Also, I was under the impression that fish and game was doing something with salmon in the section between the lake and dirt bike trails Furthermore, I work in the amphitheater as a Season Ticket Holder Suite Server for the past four years. I've never missed a concert but the city did use the amphitheater on July 4th in 2018 and it did not go well (bad service to suites, warm beer, inexperienced staff) and it got the whole city in a huff. Additionally, the amphitheater is severely underused! In other major (ok, Pocatello isn't a major city) cities, there are free weekly movie nights for the city, use by the local high school bands, local band festivals, conferences etc... It's a shame that it doesn't happen. Also, we've been extremely lucky that we've had the people from Utah that we do running the show but it would be nice to have a local company with just as much experience around to do it! We need more events booked, our season ticket holders pay so much for their suites but don't get their money's worth, and less and less supporters are paying each year. One whole section of suites (6) was dedicated to upgrading normal ticket holders. That's never happened before this year. So, having dedicated servers and priority alcohol sales is the only thing we can give them and that makes the normal ticket holders MAD! Especially when we do absolutely no walk up service at our pop up bar and when the concessions and vendors run out of alcohol. Running out of food and alcohol really inconveniences everyone, obviously. I hope the city really pulls it together when they run events, they need to keep as many local people, who have worked the concerts on a regular basis, a chance to work the events to help guide them and prevent a bad experience for the guest!

Not enough security people to wand people for weapons. Rockzilla was a joke. 8000 people and 3 guards with wands...who thought that would be enough? Not enough communication between security and police when it was delayed...5000 people left because they were told by multiple security and cops that it was cancelled. Thank you KBEAR for keeping us informed so we stayed. If you sell that many tix be ready with more staff so the line moves quicker. If your website says small backs allowed then send you back to the car and u lose your place in line cuz your back pack is bigger than the piece of 8x11 paper you folded in half to measure my backpack...no small back packs are the size of a half sheet of paper. Be more specific on the website...put measurements instead. Very disappointed.

I am there generally two times a day to walk my dog and me. I love having a place like this so accessible. I have met most of the staff and I’m impressed with the pride they have in the facility. I hope we patrons take care of it so my grandchildren can enjoy it.

One of the most beautiful parks in all of Pocatello. With amazing views of the city and the mountains. There’s something to do here for everyone! Biking, walking, dirt road biking, volleyball, swimming, fishing, dog walking, concerts, summer family movie nights, huge playgrounds, concession stand during sporting events, massive square footage of fields! Fenced in fields, lots of parking and plenty of open space. Early in the morning you might even see a powered parachuter lifting off and flying overhead!

What once was a pretty place that the city built for everybody in the community has become a case of what could’ve been. Nobody wants to really take care of it so the grass isn’t truly watered and mostly dying. They keep trying to plant trees, but they won’t live because no one will take care of them right way. the pathways down to the beach area are broken, falling, apart, missing , and/or dislodged which makes it exceptionally difficult to navigate if you are carrying stuff or if you may be older . Anybody else just walks down the path and hopes for the best. The amount of garbage that you can find there is ridiculous. It’s like nobody bothers to come cleaned up. Nobody enforces any actual rules and people just abuse it because they can, which is super depressing because it was a cool gift for the city and it should be something we’re proud of and take care of, but we don’t. Nobody wants to spend the money to take care of it properly so this place will continue to fall into disarray and eventually become just a pit. Hopefully I’m wrong but if you look over the last few years, it is already on the path. It’s still a good place to go to take a walk. It’s still a pretty view as you walk around. It’s got great sunset shots. It’s still nice to go in the water. It’s great that we have a place to fish. It would just be nice if the people took better care of it and the city managed and policed it better. In the end, it’s better to have it than not to have it. It’s just sad to see it degrade itself down.
