About Pierce Park Elementary School:

At the turn of the century, Pierce Park was a destination park.  It included cabins and a man-made lake. It was a popular weekend getaway for Boise residents.  The park was accessible only by the Boise Trolley Loop.

Walter Pierce sold 1.5 acres of land in the Pierce Park area to Ada County for use as a school. The price was $1.00! The sale maintains the provision that if the land is ever not used for a public school, ownership will revert to the Pierce Family Trust. Pierce Park School was annexed into the Boise School District in 1947.
