The park was constructed in 1918 by the Boise Commercial Club on land leased from the
Boise School District. It operated under the name, Boise Tourist Campground, and it featured overnight camping facilities. The campground was closed briefly in 1938, but the property reopened as a day use
urban park under the name, Boise Municipal Park.
Airway Park, later "Braves Field," was the city's
minor league baseball park from 1939 through 1963. The land was formerly the southwest portion of Municipal Park; the wooden venue was razed and the site became the headquarters of the
Idaho Department of Fish and Game. In 2016, the park was rededicated in honor of three-time
Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong. ==See also==
