Bowden Park is a 3-acre park located at 3249 W. Edson next to South Junior High School on the Boise Bench. Currently, the park features picnic tables, a restroom and open space for outdoor play.
Appointed by mayor and city council, Gordon S. Bowen served as director for the Boise Parks & Recreation Department from 1956-1978. He is also the author of Boise's Parks: A Cause and a Trust.
A new park master plan is being developed with input from neighbors gathered February 26, 2009, at a public meeting hosted by Boise Parks & Recreation. The master plan will help guide future development at the site.
