Projects Coming
Create Safe Access from Crescent Rim Drive:
The Peasley Stairway
This stairway with a bike runnel will connect Crescent Rim Drive with the park at Peasley Street. It will create safe, off-road access to the park and downtown Boise. A runnel is a grooved trough for cyclists to push their bicycles up or down.
We received an Open Spaces and Clean Water Committee grant which completes the funding of the project. Construction has commenced and our goal is to finish the project sometime in 2025. Click here for more details.
Restore the Clock & Tower
The clock will be relocated out of the sports fields to a central location just east of the fountain. To revitalize the clock tower, we will give it a fresh coat of paint. We plan to return a nostalgic feel by purchasing recreations of the four analog clock faces originally placed in the park by Ann Daly Morrison's family.
Revamp Riverfront Area
Although this project is still in the planning stage, there are several concepts under consideration. This image shows an expanded takeout area on both the east and west side of Pioneer Bridge with a ramp for ease of egress.

Improve Park Entries
By adding a wave roofline entryway similar to designs found in Palm Springs, iconic home of mid-century modern design, we desire to keep the park's mid-century modern roots. We will also improve the entryways at Royal Boulevard and Ann Morrison Drive with signs that complement the grand entrance at Americana Boulevard.
