The park site was acquired by the City of Boise in 1977 through the Land and Water Conservation Act. Baggley Park is named for George Baggley, a 14-year member of the Boise City Board of Park and Recreation Commissioners who also served as a member and liaison of the Boise River Greenbelt Committee.  He died in 1991. During a 40-year career with the U.S. National Park Service, Baggley was responsible for the development, design, acquisition and supervision of parks in Jordan and South America. Known informally as Loggers Creek Park, the name was officially changed to Baggley Park in 1990.

The mural by Mike Shipman professional photographer features a series of eight images representing George Baggley’s career.  The mural, which cost $5,035, is a Percent-for-Art-project with funds allocated as part of capital development or improvement projects. Each art project is developed with site-specific considerations in mind such as location, history, neighborhood audience, and relationship to the environment.  The mural was dedicated on Monday, October 22, 2007. 

Park restrooms and drinking fountains are now operational for the summer season. For a list of restrooms that are open year round, click here.
