Best place in Boise to surprise the woman you love with “ will you marry me?” Question. It is a little park and it’s beautiful.
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.
1. W.E. Pierce Building Turret (1903),
2. Bush Building Entrance Arch (1904),
3. Cast-iron Columns & Streetlights (1880s),
4. Dr. Springer’s Carriage Stone (1890s),
5. A.T. Ellis Building Date Stone (1902-03),
6. Pioneer Building Name Stone (1894),
7. Central School Name Stone (1905),
8. Morris Hill Cemetery Waterwheel.
The 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.
It 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.

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.
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.
Cute mini park with a fun water wheel nestled in downtown Boise. Usually shady. Nice spot to sit and people watch.
Take the time to read the pillar at the edge of this small park and you will sense the care that went into this small park. There are several pieces from once promenant buildings and businesses reaching back to the 1800s. Let your mind wander and enjoy the glimpse into Boise's past.
This place brings that old time feeling. Being from Sonoma, California... And as history dumb as I am, I'm learning that we aren't the only folk that had seriously excellent architecture from the later 1800's. Next stop. The Capitol! We'r live you Idaho!
