Dewey Park

A Piece of Pioneer History

Found in the corner of 15th Street and Hill Road, Dewey Park might be small, but it houses something quite special - one of only two obelisk monuments in Boise marking the historic Oregon Trail's Goodale's Cutoff route. It's quite remarkable to stand in this little urban green space and literally touch a piece of pioneer history.

Neighborhood Oasis

This pocket park offers a mini retreat for locals, with a nice balance of sun-drenched spots and shady nooks. Perfect for those moments when you need a quick nature break without venturing far from home.

Built By Neighbors, For Neighbors

Dewey Park was created through a Neighborhood Reinvestment Grant and the dedication of the North End Neighborhood Association (NENA), who pitched in financially to establish this green space. It's a good example of local community involvement in developing neighborhood spaces.

Small But Mighty

Don't let its size fool you - this compact park packs in some thoughtful amenities. You can find drinking fountains (including dog-friendly ones for your four-legged friends) and several benches where you can sit back and enjoy a moment of calm.

It's a fantastic spot to catch your breath, read a book, or chat with neighbors. And if you're in the mood for more extensive recreation, Camel's Back Park is just a quarter mile stroll away.
