About Julia Davis Park
Julia Davis Park sits along the Boise River in downtown Boise and is the city's oldest park. Thomas Davis donated 43 acres in 1907 as a memorial to his wife Julia, who had welcomed travelers on the Oregon Trail. Visitors can find memorials and public art, including a Lincoln statue, a solar system trail, and a cancer survivor plaza. The grounds also offer a rose garden, a bandshell, a playground for young children, bocce, horseshoes, tennis courts, and access to the Boise River Greenbelt. Three pavilions, the rose garden, and the bandshell can be reserved for events.
