C.W. Moore Park

150 S. 5th St., Boise

C.W. Moore Park is a .28-acre special use area located within walking distance of stores, restaurants and businesses in downtown Boise. Park amenities include benches, bike racks and historical artifacts.


In 2025, the park was renovated to restore the original site furnishings, repair the plaza surfacing damaged by the trees, install the historic plaques, organize historical elements, repaint the columns and structures and expand seating along the edge of the plaza. The park will receive new landscaping including new trees. The new design reduces the amount of lawn in the park and expands the planting beds to add to a more inviting and welcoming experience.

This project was funded through a partnership with the Capital City Development Corporation.
