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!
