Julia Davis Park, Urban park in Downtown Boise, Idaho, US.
Julia Davis Park is a large urban park extending along the Boise River with gardens, tennis courts, and open green spaces for recreation. The grounds also include pavilions for events and several buildings housing museums and exhibition spaces.
The park was established in 1907 when Thomas Davis donated land and dedicated it as a memorial to his wife Julia. This gift marked the beginning of public parks in Boise and shaped how the city developed its green spaces.
The park houses several museums, including the Boise Art Museum and Idaho State Museum, showcasing art exhibitions and historical collections that shape the city's cultural life. These institutions draw visitors interested in local heritage and contemporary works displayed within their galleries.
The park is accessible year-round and provides restroom facilities at several locations throughout the grounds. Parking is available, though extended visits on weekdays may involve fees depending on duration.
The park hosts the Gene Harris Bandshell, a well-known performance venue where concerts and community celebrations occur regularly during the season. The Rose Garden area nearby provides a calm setting for walking and enjoying quiet moments.
