Duties

Promote health, safety, welfare, and enjoyment of Canyon County citizens and other users of the George Nourse Gun Range
Suggest methods that would efficiently and cost-effectively improve the George Nourse Gun Range

Project updates: Canyon County has invested in significant improvements to the George Nourse Gun Range in recent years. In 2020, crews installed a new boundary fence with gate access. In 2021, the berm height was increased for safer shooting. In summer of 2023, with more range improvement projects on the horizon, the Parks Department reconvened the Range Advisory Board. In October and November of 2023, barriers were installed at the head of each of the 12 lanes to restrict down range vehicle access and increase user safety.
