park playtime
structure geared towards small kiddos and a huge grassy area for playing ball. A basketball court, bathrooms, and picnic tables are scattered under trees near the playground. The real highlight of Lowder Park is the new public artwork created in 2010
Helen B. Lowder Park L
By Amy Pence-Brown
ocated at 3450 South Law Avenue in Southeast Boise, Lowder Park was formerly known as Centennial Park until the name changed in 2003 to recognize past Boise Parks and Recreation Board President and community leader Helen B. Lowder. A fairly small park at just five acres, Lowder Park features a traditional play
by local artist Benjamin Love. Titled bigFUN, the artwork boasts a large, round, bright blue floor created from recycled rubber tires. It’s bouncy, and several blue poles with round holes invite visitors to interact with the art and make up games of their own, so make sure to bring along some balls, beanbags, or Frisbees as well. For directions and more details, go to
cityofboise.org.
Boise writer Amy Pence-Brown thinks that art you can play with is the best art of all.
