Review & FAQ:

Julia Davis Park is located on South Capitol Boulevard in downtown Boise. Thomas Jefferson Davis donated 43 acres of land in memory of his wife, Julia Davis, in 1907. The park was created along the Boise River, and it is the first park in the “String of Pearls,” which refer to the parks located along the river.

Several important Boise sites are located in the park, including the Boise Art Museum, the Idaho Black History Museum, the Idaho Historical Museum, and Zoo Boise. Today the park is nearly 90 acres in size and features a playground, a pond, river access, a rose garden, statues, and a tennis court.
