Weather
While we hope the sun is out and the temperatures are perfect, those of us living in the area know that just about anything can happen in early July. So our best advice is - Be Prepared - because the show will go on. Check out your favorite weather website for current weather information.

Restrooms
Portable restrooms (with ADA accessibility) will be placed on the grounds

Water
There are no drinking fountains at the park. Water will be available for sale - or bring your own.

Alcoholic Beverages
It is against the law to bring alcoholic beverages into the park. Beer and wine will be available for sale. All proceeds from these sales will benefit the Portneuf Greenway.

Shade
There are small shade trees in the park, as well as several tents where you can seek sun relief. However, much of the park is open, so if you are concerned about too much sun, prepare accordingly.


PARK HISTORY
Taysom Rotary Park was made possible through the generous donation of land from Wayne Taysom. Rotary Club members from Gate City, Pocatello and Centennial Rotary Clubs transformed this old river oxbow from a brown weed patch to a green grass filled park with a pavilion donated by ISU. In 2007 the Portneuf Greenway Foundation, in conjunction with the City of Pocatello’s Tree Commission enhanced this open space by planting over 25 trees and enlarging the small amphitheatre berm to create a venue perfect for RiverFest. This work would not have been possible without funding from the IFFT Foundation of the Idaho Community Foundation, as well as donations from Acon Inc, Koger Excavation, Pocatello Sod, Del and Karen Owens, Atlas Mechanical, Idaho Industrial Contractors, and Walker Monument.
