CW Moore Park

No reason to make a specific trip for the park, but if you are in the area, it is worth a stop. Great history of the park and a Boise Founding Father. My wife saw the turret, so the family walked down to take a peek. I am glad we made the effort.

C. W. Moore Park is a 0.28-acre urban park which includes architectural historic artifacts from some of Boise's demolished buildings, i.e.nn1. W.E. Pierce Building Turret (1903),n2. Bush Building Entrance Arch (1904),n3. Cast-iron Columns & Streetlights (1880s),n4. Dr. Springer’s Carriage Stone (1890s),n5. A.T. Ellis Building Date Stone (1902-03),n6. Pioneer Building Name Stone (1894),n7. Central School Name Stone (1905),n8. Morris Hill Cemetery Waterwheel.nnThe waterwheel raised water from the ditches and provides the water to a small rivulet which is symbolic of Boise’s early canal system. The park is available for reservation for formal ceremonies. There is on street parking available. It also has bike racks and drinking water facilities.nnIt is a very small park. One day I saw the turret while walking back home. After that I used to go there, listen to the waterwheel and have my lunch. I was very surprised to learn about the artifacts included in the park.

A tiny park the size of a coffee shop, perfect for a sip and a read.

Boise's best kept downtown secret! So picturesque!

One of my favorite little spots in Boise. Great park with a water wheel and some cool historic Boise artifacts. Lie in the grass and listen to the creek. Sit in the shade and watch people go by. Look at the old map of Boise and compare with today's growing city. Enjoy life. Be happy.
