Scenes from the
C.W. Moore park in downtown. Originally from Toronto, Canada, Moore was one of Boise’s pioneers. He opened a general store, got into mining, ranching, and later founded Idaho’s first chartered national bank.
The park is small, intimate, has a few benches and trees, and the waterwheel. A nice place to sit for a bit, have a cup of java, maybe read a book on a lunch break.
Besides the park, there is also an apartment complex, penthouse, and plaza named after him. His descendants still live in Boise, and are active in the community.

C.W. sounds like quite a guy and an important part of Boise history. Very nice looking park. When the first photo loaded I thought it was a mosaic! I'll have to remember that as an interesting design; and I like the pink and green combo.
That's wonderful the waterwheel photo is an inspiration as a mosaic design! :>) It's fun to help spark creative ideas in others (and likewise). I like the green and pink combo, too. The blossoms were lovely that day.
CW was quite important in the making of Boise. His family is still quite influential.
one can tell by the design and current color scheme why it was named the Egytpian. me wish the old sign remained...
