The purpose of the Gowen Field Memorial park is "
"To plan, build, and maintain a memorial to honor Idaho's military veterans and families whose units’ lineage traces their unit to the Idaho National Guard or Gowen Field. To honor their duty, loyalty, service, and commitment with the utmost dignity, gratitude, remembrance and reflection deserving of the men and women who, throughout Idaho's history, gave so much and asked for so little in return." The project is undertaken in cooperation with the Idaho Military Historical Society.
