PARK HISTORY

This park was named after Samuel Bothwell, who supervised volunteers in the construction of the Bothwell Sr. Recreation Center in 1947 and helped established the surrounding park.

This park site used to be the home of Livermore High School which was torn down in 1930. In 2010, the park was renovated and contains picnic and play areas, and 2 bocce ball courts with all-weather synthetic surfacing. In 2018, the District added shade structures to the playground area. 

The Recreation Center, now called the Bothwell Arts Center, is currently leased by Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center (LVPAC) and contains kitchen facilities, meeting rooms, and restrooms.
