Dewey Park
Location: 15th and Hill Road
Amenities: None
This park won't show up on the city website or in the listings of parks and other areas of interest within the City of Boise, but it is unique. The site sports one of two obelisk monuments marking the Goodale's Cutoff route on the Oregon Trail. The monuments are located in McAuley Park, 1650 W. Resseguie Ave., and at Dewey Park, at 15th and Hill Road.
The sites were selected because of their close proximity to the 1860s emigrant trails located at what is now Harrison Boulevard and Hill Road. Each monument features historic information, a bronze relief medallion of a covered wagon, maps, and a user friendly bicycle tour of Boise’s pioneer sites. The tour extends from the North End, through downtown and Boise Avenue to the Oregon Trail Reserve in Southeast Boise.
