This park features in-situ petroglyphs, rock carvings made by Native Americans, some of which date to more than 12,000 years ago.[2] Celebration Park was once a seasonal home for several nomadic groups. During the winter, the Paiute lived in areas with lower elevations along the Snake River [3] including this site. This region was also home to the Shoshone and Bannock people.

The park's Guffey railroad bridge over the Snake River was built Шаблон:Years or months ago in 1897, to carry gold and silver ore from Silver City in the Owyhee mountains to Nampa for smelting.[2] It has been refurbished and is open for walking and horseback riding.[4] It is the only Parker-Through-Truss railroad bridge in Idaho and is the state's largest historic artifact; it was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The 450-ton steel structure is Шаблон:Convert tall and spans Шаблон:Convert over the river. The bridge was abandoned Шаблон:Years or months ago in 1947, saved from demolition in the 1970s, and purchased and restored by Canyon County government in 1989.[5]
