C. W. Moore Park is a Шаблон:Convert urban park in Boise, Idaho. The park is managed by the Boise Parks and Recreation Department and includes architectural artifacts from some of Boise's demolished buildings.[1][2]

History

The park was dedicated in 1983 on property deeded to the city in 1916 by Christopher W. Moore (November 30, 1835--September 20, 1916),[3][4] a pioneer who moved to Idaho in 1863.[5] In 1914, Moore established a playground for small children at his property on Grove Street, the site of C. W. Moore Park.[6] In his will, Moore awarded funds to the Children's Aid and Home Finding Society.[7]
