Park on Aug. 14, 2025. Mayor McLean, City Councilmember Willits, Boise Parks and Rec. Director Doug Holloway and CNA President Kathy Graham spoke about this momentous occasion and what a joy it is to represent 12,000 residents of West Boise and be surrounded by neighbors, friends, & community leaders
as we honor the many people who worked tirelessly to bring us to this groundbreaking event.
CNA’s President Kathy Graham shared that each phase of this development has brought us closer to the VISION we shared:
a place where everyone feels welcome
where nature and people thrive side by side,
and where the heart of our community beats strongest.”
Today, we broke ground on the final phase of McDevitt Park for future memories, future connections and all the experiences that this space will hold for generations to come. We want to thank Mayor McClean and District 1 Council member Willits, Boise Parks and Recreation team, and our 12,000 West Boise neighbors for their vision, perseverance and dedication to this project.
We want to specifically thank several West Boise & Centennial
Neighborhood Association individuals, Larry Ice, Joe LaGue, Rob Levitt and Gary Dufault. These gentlemen endlessly gave their time, resources, and voices in helping the community shape what this park should be and we thank them sincerely for their dedication to this park.
Parks are more than green spaces — they are places of belonging and this groundbreaking is about ensuring that belonging continues to grow here for decades to come. This is not an ending, but the continuation of a new park story at McDevitt Park that we are writing together with vision,
teamwork and pride.
Greetings Centennial Neighborhood Association residents!
We are excited to invite you to the McDevitt Park Final Phase Groundbreaking Ceremony on Thursday August 14, 2025 at 9:30am.

We hope to see you all on Thursday August 14th at 9:30am. Park near the Skate Park and follow the signs to the Groundbreaking area.
The CNA Board would also like to extend a personal thank you and heartfelt appreciation to our prior board members who have been personally involved in the strategic efforts to complete this final phase of Boise’s McDevitt Park:
Larry Ice
Joe LaGue
Rob Levitt
After years of intense lobbying by your Centennial Neighborhood Association and many others, we will see the groundbreaking ceremony this month! See the Channel 6 News most recent coverag
I remember meeting with one of our neighborhood families 2023. This picture was taken at that meeting and titled “The sidewalk to nowhere”!
Follow this post for groundbreaking details in August, 2025.
After Thursday evening’s second quarter open board meeting of the Centennial Neighborhood Association, many attendees gathered “around” one of West Boise’s largest public libraries! Because Boise’s western neighborhoods lack a City Public Library within walking or biking distance, don’t you think it’s time we had one?
Your Centennial Neighborhood Association has been diligently advocating for the completion of the remaining open space and upgrades to this west Boise jewel for over three years. Thanks to a lot of hard work and attendance by your board and other Centennial members at many city and neighborhood meetings, this great park is finally scheduled for completion with funding included in the 2024/2025 City budget.

Case # DRH24-00194, 12673 W Ashcreek St – The Ashcreek multi-family residential development (Ashcreek)
The Centennial Neighborhood Association (CTNA) has been aware and actively engaged in review and assessment of Ashcreek since 2022, when it was first proposed. Recently, a meeting notice was sent to all participating members of record of CTNA, with reference to the project design changes proposed by Brighton Corporation and offering opportunities for review, discussion and potential action. Representatives of CTNA have also discussed Ashcreek with applicant representatives as well as Rachael Ferell, city planner.
We have a CTNA member consensus.
CTNA desires to go on record in support of Ashcreek as proposed. Further, CTNA anticipates and appreciates that Ashcreek will yield:
Hello Centennial neighbors!
In case you may have missed it, we received an update from Boise Parks and Recreation on the Master Plan for our neighborhood’s Charles F. McDevitt Park completion and reviewed it at our announced April 11th open board meeting last night at Tree City Church. Thank you all who attended and shared their thoughts. The board is investigating a few proposed changes to the current plan and will present those at next week’s P&R Commission meeting. All are encouraged to attend. Zoom meeting options are available – see below.
Here is the latest update from Boise Parks and Recreation. We encourage everyone to attend.
March 2024 Update from Boise Parks and Recreation
Thank you to those who have participated in the outreach process so far; our team values your feedback and is now preparing a final design proposal following a second survey.
Incorporating initial feedback on potential amenities, our team of landscape architects prepared two design concepts for people to vote on. Option 2, which is more focused on wheeled sports with a bike pump track area and new skatepark features, was the winner with more than 63% of the vote. If you would like to view these follow-up survey results, you may do so here.
FINAL MASTER PLAN DESIGN PROPOSAL
Next Steps
Following this second round of public input, the city’s landscape architects are working to finalize a master plan design. This design update will be presented to the Boise Parks and Recreation Commission, where a public hearing will follow a presentation from staff. The Board of Commissioners will then vote on the updated master plan. Details for the April meeting are listed below.
