The 33 best parks and gardens in Davenport

How lovely to visit the conservatory and the copious outdoor rose gardens with fresh pearls of rainwater on each leaf. The visit was free, an hour well spent, though you could take a picnic blanket and enjoy a longer visit on the really wonderful green space that surrounds the gardens.

Lovely little park with no entry fee, plenty of parking and lots of beautiful flowers! The rose gardens were beautiful and the hosts garden quiet, cool and peaceful. I enjoyed walking the grand alle and visiting the special display of tropical plants.

I visited on a Monday, only to unfortunately find that their building is closed on Mondays. I still enjoyed their park-like outdoor setting. While there, I took a stroll around their pond. I saw a couple of signs indicating that they love their ducks. I think that may be a bit of an understatement!

Lovely day for a walk in the park. Park is well maintained with lots of walking areas to explore. The sundial is a beautiful work of art. Be sure to check it out near the fountain.

What a Gem for families & Runners Such a Beautiful Garden of flowers with a very well-cared-for conservatory + a decent-sized park/walking path with the view of the pond.

Great little botanical garden. The roses were lovely and I can imagine how amazing they are in full bloom (instead of mid-October).

🌿 A Hidden Gem in Davenport – A Year-Round Favorite! 🌿 Vander Veer Botanical Park is truly one of my favorite places to visit, no matter the season. What makes it especially wonderful is the indoor conservatory, which stays open even during the harsh Iowa winters—giving you a beautiful escape into nature when everything outside is frozen! My family and I visit this park often. The kids love the playground and open grassy fields, and there’s plenty of space to run around or enjoy a picnic. In the summer, the gardens bloom beautifully—especially the Rose Garden, which is simply stunning and peaceful. It’s a dog-friendly park too, which means our furry family members get to join in on the fun. There’s also a charming pond with ducks, and we love spending time just watching them or taking a relaxing walk around it. Whether you’re looking for a quiet walk, family fun, or a peaceful moment in nature, Vander Veer Botanical Garden has it all. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike! 🌷🌼🐾🦆

Was a good park growing up throughout the 80-90’s. Use to be very busy. Now it’s a wasteland. Homeless encampments in the woods. Illegal activities everywhere. Sadly the city has neglected for to many years. The tank is still there but the rest of the park is trashed. The view of the river is the only good thing left.

Sure has changed since thee first time we stopped here. The city is cleaning it all up and making it more picnic friendly. There is a tank the kids would love to check out.

I do wish they would clear the path so you could walk through.It was covered by brush and trees.It would just be nice if they would have someone clear it

Cool spot to catch fish from the shore. I worry there's still some shady stuff going on. It use to be a meet up spot. Feels like lots of parked cars for no reason.

I walked the trail just off the parking lot by the pedestrian bridge. The trail started off nice. It got a bit bumpy but it was no big deal (I'm middle-aged and fat and prone to ankle sprains so I just took it slow). Then I encountered a fallen tree. I didn't really want to go backwards over the bumpy part again so I decided to go on. The tree didn't seem so bad to go over, so I went over it (I am also short, so this was not super easy for me). Unfortunately, that was not the last fallen tree I'd encounter. After the first two or three I became legitimately scared I'd be trapped between all the fallen trees. Some were pretty precarious. I wish they'd had a sign or something warning of the fallen trees blocking the trail. So I would like to warn people this is not exactly a cake walk. I'm sure there are people who love this kind of trail, but if you are fat, short, middle-aged, and prone to ankle sprains, stick to the bridge and paved areas, and avoid the trail.

Such an amazing place to visit

This is a nice park in the quad cities to relax in. Nice calm water off of the main channel to kayak, fish and I see a lot of very serious bike riders here now that the new bridge is up, high visibility spandex and all so you know they are passionate about their hobby. Credit island was the scene of one of the western most battles in the war of 1812, and I am no history professor but it appears the French and Indians lost judging by the US army tank prominently displayed. They have a nice lodge that is designed to handle flooding, a golf course and lots of places to have a nice bbq and grill the carp you just caught off the scenic banks. Also Will Farrell once happily drank a beer here.

We love the new trails that are built for biking or hiking ! We also enjoy the new camp ground updates too! We wish the campgrounds did not have reserve on everything, but they do and it’s super hard now to get in for camping. It’s best to go and set up and pay for an extra couple days before you actually go. Lakes you can go to the beach and do rentals of paddle boats, fish and it’s a good little get away from the city. Great hosts and explorers and the camp host this year in the summit was absolutely amazing and so good! Hope he comes back next year! From our drone!

Campground was full due to river flooding in the area. Had to change the schedule. Otherwise, the lakes are beautiful near the campground. The sites are little tight and neighbors are a little too caring.

The cabins are always a nice and quiet place to stay with a good view and lots to do. You can conveniently get some firewood ($6 or $7)from the office when you check in, and fire starters($4). The pedal boats were fun and Isaiah from the boat house was very nice and helpful with getting us started on the pedal boats. Reasonably priced at $10 for 30 min, $15 for 1 hour. They also have kayaks but we did not have time for that. The obstacle course on the beach is very fun for the kids and we liked that they have one for smaller kids and one for bigger kids(even 6ft tall teenagers!). Everyone wears a life jacket on there, even teenagers. For the smaller kids when they walk through the height thing they recommended if you are about half way between the blue arrows or lower that you stay on the little kid one and anyone above that can do the bigger one. The sand has a ton of rocks and is not at all comfortable to walk on like normal beach sand. There is a nice picnic area so you can bring your own food or they have concessions. Admission is only $5 for kids and $6 for adults Those things might be on the FAQ on the website if they have one, IDK. But for the most part everyone there assumes you have been there before and they don't really inform you on how it works so hopefully this helps. They have playgrounds throughout the park and some pavilions that you can rent, the one closest to the beach has its own playground, restrooms, fireplace, and grills. They added a sidewalk around the lake by the cabins which makes it much easier to enjoy a relaxing stroll around the lake. There is also a disc golf course which I cannot speak to if it is good or bad because I do not play but it is there.

Very clean and beautiful park. There are plenty of camping spaces. Enough restrooms too, some with showers. You will need to pay to reserve a shade though. The children’s playgrounds are the best in here!

Camping sites are pretty tight. Be ready to get to know your neighbors as they are right in your back yard. Full hooks ups are nice however, that means their sewer is in your front yard.

Nice place to kayak, walk trails, fish and camp. The main lake is overall too shallow for motor boats. I have seen people with their motor boats on that lake but I would beware

Fishing is not the same since they drained the lake nothing but little fish was still a fun day with the granddaughter catching her first fish

Black Hawk State Historic Site (Rock Island, IL) This land breathes with memory. Beneath the canopy of oak and along the trails, history lives alongside nature. The Black Hawk site is more than a park — it is a story carved into the earth itself. Walking here is not only wandering but listening: to the silence between trees, to the unseen footsteps of those who came before. For the Lone Wolf, this is sacred ground. Here, independence transforms into humility, for Mother Nature reminds us that the land endures longer than any blade of grass or human hand.

Cool park and historic site along the Rock River. I only had a short time to visit so I hiked the trail nearest the river which featured cool rock formations and some nice views of the river. Unfortunately, I visited on a Monday and the museum is closed on Mondays, but I did explore outside the museum, which included a nice statue of Chief Black Hawk.

Lots of well maintained walk paths with picnic tables dotted along these paths. Good playground for children. They also have a great venue location with great friendly staff for weddings or any other occasion. Plenty of parking in multiple different places. You could easily spend the day on a walking adventure here. Me and my wife visit often. It has become one of our "romantic" get away places.

We walked across the sky bridge... played at every park area... ventured to the trails and it was outstanding. They have trails attached to more trails a person could get lost. They do have a map at the entrance... take a picture of it...I may or may not have gotten lost! It was bliss!

I really like this park. It covers a large area, there's easy walking paths as well as more challenging trails along the river bluff. The museum is next on my list. The playground is small, but decent. Very nice trees. There's a shelter with fireplaces and picnic benches, and benches along the river below the shelter. Multiple parking lots for accessibility. An overpass pedestrian bridge. The history here is palpable if you pay attention to that kind of thing, and you should.

Great place for a wedding! Great price. And Rhonda was amazing to work with! She helped me save the day with my wedding and had a list of vendors for me once I picked to go with her. She was great at communication and had great items for rent to use for your wedding. Thank you again Rhonda!

Beautiful park with a playground and trails. We stopped by the little prairie next to the lodge for some family photos and then took a walk over the bridge and watched the cars go by. Our little guy thought this bridge was the coolest ever!

It was a beautiful though overcast day to sit by the river. Lots of people were walking, bike riding, at the parks, fishing, and just enjoying some time outdoors.

I have lived in the QuadCities for.most of my life. If you like walking,running,or biking this is.the place for you. Very beautiful setting. Walk along the Mississippi river. Little history about Mississippi River it's the only place on the river where it runs east and west on the bend .It's located in Moline,Illinois.

Great views of the Mississippi River. Bike path and park areas are well kept. Catfish Charlie's is a bonus!

I like to go to River parking lots to take in the views. Sometimes I fish and meet with friends at the river front all along Moline ole Mark up to East Moline the Bend. I sometime play music on river front near bathrooms on occasions too. I love river Drive and all the parking to enjoy the river at all locations.

One of the best areas in the Quad Cities 😃

Along the Great River Trail. Lots of shade and benches to enjoy the view. Good bird watching spot. Restrooms but not 24 hours.

Talk about a VERY long Mississippi River park. Not exactly sure how many miles long this parkway is, but it feels like a Timex park ... it just keeps on going. Perfect for sitting and enjoying the river, playing frisbee in the grass, tossing a ball to your very well trained, non-biting dog or telling the kids to run and don't stop until they are tired (Highly recommend that run not be in one direction, unless you're running, too). We were visiting the Farmers Market and simply enjoying the rare and beautiful 70° November Sunday afternoon.

I like this park very much. There are always a lot of beautiful flowers and plants to see. There is a nice playground and bathrooms are provided. Also, picnic area and grill.

I remember going here when I was young with the playset that was about 15 feet tall and had a giant tube in the center with a ladder in the middle. It kind of smelled like pee, that was not very cool, but the playset otherwise was pretty awesome. The park is clean, with restrooms, and a fantastic view.

It's a Huge Park in the Crackhead part of Rock Island and the Maintenance Crew Doe's an excellent job cleaning up after all of the Slobs that come from other planets to help destroy Earth. Lord knows that the Law Enforcement People could Learn how to Do a Good Job from the Park Maintenance Office.

The kids and I enjoy this park pert near every single day!! Sometimes twice a day. The grounds are generally well-kept. The sunsets are absolutely gorgeous and seem to last forever. The gardens and paths throughout this, larger than you'd think, park are pretty peaceful and provide a lot of nature to soak in. The "living" calendar, is updated daily, which is a pretty unique touch and definitely something you won't see most anywhere else in the area!!

Longiew Park is wonderful.. at sunset it was busy with energetic young Rock Island families, moving around on the playground. Pet owners were walking the hilly paths with their dogs. A polite group of Teenagers were gathered around their parked cars. And a few older parents sat watching the younger ones. The park grounds were well managed with clusters of naturalistic grass, mixed with squirrels, groomed grass and trimed trees. I could see the rest rooms appeared to be safe and open, but I did not go in. I think, Longview park is at its seasonal peak for maximum experience. Then I searched for that one location, at this golden moment for the greatest long view. I found it.. I could easily see Iowa, Illinois and the Centennial Bridge over the Mississippi River. Centennial Bridge popped as it reflected the sun in this dry evening air. The grestest long view location will change with each sunset. But if you have the time to search for it. You may be rewarded with a present tense moment that is better than looking at a cell phone. I did not take a picture of my greatest long view. Because, I did not want this memory in my phone. I wanted in my mind. Well Done park department for Longview park.

Really nice park! Besides the disc golf course being a little messed up, it's extremely hard to find the markers on where to start for each hole. Some of the holes are oddly close to each other but that's probably because I can't find where to start! 😅

One of the better water parks with low problems for families looking to enjoy themselves.

Sunderbrunch Park: Fun, Fitness, and Family-Friendly Adventures Sunderbrunch Park is one of our favorite spots to enjoy the outdoors as a family! Whether we're out for a relaxing hike together or my kids are burning off energy on the dinosaur bone play equipment or the ninja obstacle course playground, there's something here for everyone. For the more active visitors, the park is great for trail running—the paths are well-maintained and offer beautiful views along the way. Horse trails are also available, adding another layer of adventure for equestrian enthusiasts. We love taking advantage of the picnic areas to refuel and relax after a day of exploring. The park is surrounded by gorgeous scenery that makes every visit feel like a little escape. If you’re looking for a place that combines fitness, fun, and fresh air, Sunderbrunch Park is a gem you won’t want to miss!

A wonderful park in Davenport. A large playground body building area. A long paved path for bikes with some side routes of dirt paths. Places to ride horses. Paths to hike or run. A pavilion. Some unique dinosaur statues.

Fun place to go for a casual day out with kids, or you can be more adventurous if you want the harder trails. There's bike trails and horseback riding trails here. Lovely views. Absolutely recommend.

Love hiking here! Just an all around great place to be active

Great trails and lots of fun!

Cute, fun to explore. The trail markers were sort of confusing in spots, but it was figure-out-able.

The map and trail numbers were very helpful!

Credit Island Park in Davenport, Iowa, is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Nestled along the banks of the Mississippi River, this park offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and recreational activities. With a vast expanse of greenery, towering trees, and stunning river views, it is an ideal destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The park boasts a wide range of amenities, including picnic areas, walking trails, and playgrounds for children. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the riverfront, take in the serene atmosphere, and spot wildlife along the way. The park also features a marina, making it a popular spot for boating and fishing enthusiasts.

First fishing excursion for the year.. no nibbles however.

I think the island is pretty, but a little small. The only thing holding this back is that there are only a few trails to walk, and none of them are especially long. It would be a good spot for a lunch picnic or some fishing in either the pond or the Mississippi.

I am taking the 52 Hike Challenge, to get a weekly hike in over the course of a year. So, I decided to check out the trails here for this hike. I had my son, three year old granddaughter, and dog with me. The trail starts out looking like it will be an enjoyable trek, but eventually turns into a nightmare of thick growth and deadfall. The trail was just too poorly maintained to properly enjoy. Still, once we made it to the river, the birds and the view were lovely. By the end, our clothes were covered in pickers, so we spent a good fifteen minutes being aggravated, trying to removing them all. Overall, it was a challenge. If I would hear that they’ve cleaned it up, I would definitely return, but not until then.

There are so many different things you can do here. If you have the right stuff you could spend an entire day here. Start with some disc golf, then take a nice hike and if you need to cool down and really do some relaxing this is a great spot for kayaking. It's a perfect place for a nice picnic and if you like to fish you can do that too. Good clean fun!

Ran the Cornbelt Pumpkin Dash 8K here. We did a couple loops around the nicely kept park.

What's that? 🐟🌮🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😅🤣 It's a park, nothing more, nothing less.

Its nice to get out into nature while still in the city as long as you don’t require a map. The map provided at the trailhead is useless. I’m a retired infantry soldier and BSA scout master. Land navigation isn’t foreign to me. It’s a small map with two loops but nothing on the map makes it’s use simple. If you needed to call emergency services you better hope that you get a great dispatcher because the map won’t help. BE PREPARED TO CROSS TREES AS LARGE AS TWO FEET IN DIAMETER LAYING ACROSS THE TRAILS.

A beautifully, privately owned park open to the public, Schuetzen has a lot of character with trails that have varied terrain, verticality, and tranquility. Really nice place to trail run with laps and some hill climbs.

Beautiful and well maintained! Definitely a hidden gem 😊 Definitely a hike, so be prepared.

Good little hidden gem. I would rather people not know. But it’s super nice and quiet. But it’s good and tucked away.

Wonderful park but very small. Recent music event very sweet. Nice band singing 80s songs in German and drinking songs. Turned pop songs into polkas.

GORGEOUS!! You don't feel like your in Davenport anymore! one of our favorite places. you can walk it in 30 mins

This place has walking trails. Lot of history there. It very relaxing and peaceful place.

The entrance to the fenced-in dig park is on the south side, in the middle. You can choose the 30 pounds and under area for small dogs to the east or the larger dogs area on the west. (I didn't see a port-a-potty.) It's a city park named Robin Creek Dog Park. Friends of Off Road Cycling (FORC) has built trails all around (three sides) in the woods see photo with map. When it's drier, I'll try hiking them.

Nice clean large off leash dog park. One side for big dogs. One for small.

You have to park on the street but... it's a really great dog park. Follow the sidewalk around to the entrance. Very big on both sides (small dogs/ big dogs). There's a few benches inside. There's picnic tables outside. It is a little wet and muddy but someone put straw over the worst part. You'll still need to wash your dog afterwards. There are receptacles in case you forgot to bring your own bags to clean up after your dog. This is a very nice dog park.

The dog park entrance is very deceiving. It's on the other side of the main entrance. All the other openings are locked up. That doesn't make sense. Then why put up gate entrances there if the public can't enter them? There aren't any trees in the dog park to make it more shady for the dogs. There's only one umbrella-shaded bench for people to sit at on each side of the park. It is clean well kept, I'll say that. But it was also just very dead. It's nice to have e for dogs who don't get along with other dogs that well.

Love the concept but large gaps in the fencing.Worried about the small dogs getting through.

Nice find to help my little one to limber up after a long road trip. Owners 😉and dogs🐶 play area that each can ensure the safety encounters of their pets. Wish this survey appeared when there to submit pictures.🥴

Small park in the area with little to no other dogs when we've visited. But nice and quiet. Pups enjoyed it.

🌿 Duck Creek Parkway (Davenport, IA) This stretch of winding path through Davenport feels like a ribbon of nature cutting through the heart of the city. Here, trees lean in close, as if sharing secrets, while the creek runs steady with quiet persistence. Families bike past, joggers press forward, yet within the hum of human activity I find solitude. For the Lone Wolf, this parkway offers a reminder that even in the busiest of landscapes, Mother Nature makes space for contemplation, reflection, and freedom. ✨ Closing Reflection — The Lone Wolf’s Journey Across each destination — the flowing parkway, the still waters, the historic woods — I walk not as a tourist, but as a listener. The earth speaks, if you have ears to hear her. Mother Nature is not a backdrop; she is the constant companion of every independent wanderer. And so I move on, carrying the voices of creek, lake, and forest with me. — Volfsson, “The Lone Wolf"

Good Times ◉‿◉

Very relaxing

So this is a combination review of the river view trail and parks from Veterans memorial to sculpture park, approximately 4 miles. Nice views of river but as with many metro areas, there is a vagrancey issue at multiple parts of the trail. Trash, graffiti and loitering were present at same. From a tourists perspective, this is not a destination area and I cut my visit short as a result of same. I had full bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming. All bathrooms were closed for the season. Parking was plentiful and large enough for any size rig or RV.

Open space along the riverfront with dog park, playground, biking trail, skatepark nearby, and walkway that takes you underneath the Centennial bridge. It’s usually pretty quiet and secluded down here. You can easily find a place to park and there’s shelters with tables for a picnic or similar informal gathering. This certainly isn’t one of the nicest parks in the city. I personally think they should plant more trees in the open areas and turn it into a riverfront forest. Maybe adding in a second playground would be interesting too. But then again, this whole area does flood pretty often, so I could see why not much is done down here unfortunately. Perhaps a flood wall instead?

A little run down but overall it was a nice park to stop at while traveling through the area. Restrooms are near the playground and are functional and fairly clean (typical park bathroom). But of trash around the park. Splash pad is nice with big kid and little kid areas. The playground is not suitable for toddlers unless you have an accomplished climber.

Decent place to park to start a run up and down the Mississippi on the River Trail. Sometimes you can get hassled a little bit by people there if you park near to the bathrooms under the trees. For that reason I tend to park further out in the middle of the main lot.

It's a decent park. Lots of wide open spaces for kids to run around and for gatherings/picnics. It's got a great section of the river walk, a few pavilions, and a playground. The splash pad is also there. But, the park itself has no charm or character. There's barely ANY trees, which was very apparent on the hot, sunny summer day we visited.

I went there more than hundred times. Kids enjoy the playgrounds. Nice place beside Mississippi River.

Totally beautiful. Great Park water park. Small. Basketball soccer ice skating skateboard ramp arpit whatever you call it. Beautiful stretches of green grass big heels gazebos very nice. Next to beautiful ballpark. Just below the first day I'm ever built on the Mississippi River. All kinds of fun stuff. City of Davenport Iowa

Beautiful example of habitat restoration and recovery. Perfect place to go bird watching in the Davenport area.

Great experience for children and adults alike!

If you love nature this is the place to go to see it! I've watched this place grow the last couple of years. Each year I come back there are more plants, animals and insects. It's cool.

Nahant Marsh has a wide variety of activities. The bird blind is a good place to see waterfowl. I have seen Blue Herons, Great Egrets, Wood Ducks, Green Winged teals, American Coots and other ducks. Of course you can see Canada Geese and Mallards. The hiking trails are easy. Depending on when you visit yo can see butterflies, dragon flies, grasshoppers and moths. There are also a wide variety of wild flowers. I have seen Bald Eagles and Osprey while walking by the dock. The Education Center has a nice variety of live animals to observe and the staff is friendly.

Beautifully maintained trails and bird watching stations through an awesome wetland. We too often ignore the beauty of these "swamps": full of birds, butterflies, flowers, turtle, etc.... The education center exhibits are fun and interesting inside and out.

Great place to birdwatch and just enjoy nature...

The education center was closed when we stopped. But the hike on the property is AMAZING! A lot of nature that can be enjoyed by any age. It's a really easy hike with lots to look at. I love all the creative stations the center has around the grounds. Like the insect hotel! How clever! It's also cool because there is a trail that goes along the train yard and it was interesting to see our railroad from that perspective! Thank you to the team that put this together!!

School took a field day there for the last day. Beautiful scenery, lots of places to hang out, it has a bike path and baseball court. Two playgrounds, lots of volleyball areas to! Many shady areas in case it's hot. There's bathrooms there and a water fountain. Very fun place to hang.

Great place for volleyball, with six sand courts and some that are even in the shade sometimes. Right next to the bike trail, so easy to get to as well.

The park was clean and well maintained. It's a very pleasant place to meet with family and friends.

Great park! Would be nice if there was more than one porta potty, but otherwise a decent place for kids to play

This is a beautiful place to walk or jogging alone every day

Awesome ... play area, sand, volleyball, baseball, Pavillion, grills, parking

Nice park. Has multiple volleyball courts and baseball diamonds. Part of the Duck Creek Trail. Great place to hang out for a picnic or a lunch break. You can thank me later for the pokestops and gyms / portals.

Nice park with plenty of things to do. The playground is newer and has plenty of unique features for kids who like to climb.

We had a great time at the party in the park last Thursday

A great park when parents are watching their children.

They put in a new bench and a couple more places to sit. Great place to stop and take a break from the bike trail.

I'm from out of town and wanted a nice place to walk my Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. The trail at Garfield Park is lovely. It had snowed 6 inches this morning and the trail was plowed. We ended up clocking almost 5 miles. We encountered many friendly faces along the way. Thank you, Davenport!

Just changed my running route from the river to Duck Creek Trail and come here as my jumping off point. Running either direction from this nice little park allows for some great scenery. The park has covered areas for parties, picnic tables, a playground, tennis courts, baseball fields, restrooms, and more.

Nice little park right off the bike path! There are lots of slides (big and small) and a fun swing you can use with your baby/toddler. It was a lot of fun and we plan on returning!

Nice little park right along the creek. Plenty of seating for parents at the playground, shade, restrooms, a small pavilion with a grill, baseball field, and more!

One of many hidden gems in Davenport. Marquette Park is located in a more suburban area of town centered on a creek, but is very peaceful. It’s a smaller park with trails that lead to other parks nearby. I spent many nights with friends going on little walks throughout the darker trails of this park. It’s relatively safe, and during the day a cool place to bring your kids to see the playground.

Nice clean park. Gorgeous anytime of year. Very peaceful to listen to the creek.

Can't dock the place for the insane pollen that ran me off so 5 stars. 😂😂😂

Glorious spaces to step away from the madness. A gem of the Iowa Quad Cities.

Marquette Park is part of the Duck Creek Parkway complex that runs through the center of the city if Davenport, IA. The park has a rural setting even though it is situated in a urban area. There is plenty of room for family activities and also solo walks. The bicycle path sees a lot of use and there are large amounts of runners and walkers. Even in the winter, the park is home to people who feel the need to get out into nature weather permitting. There is ample parking for most events.

Just a park. Nothing fancy or must go out of your way to see. A small Creek runs through with a bridge that people like to stop and look. There's a couple Pavilions with grills and a small park with lots of area for kids to run. There is an abundance of parking and public restrooms.

Great park! It’s got a nice baseball field, basketball court, lots of green space, shady spots to enjoy views of the river and have a picnic, and a decent playground. It’s also close to lots of great businesses!

Absolutely love this park. We love that there is a sidewalk surrounding the playground. We can color on the sidewalk with chalk while the other kids play.

Great views of the Mississippi, fun green space. Playground is a little outdated, but kids don't care!

Great walk. Go down to Isle Casino, and there is a pub on the water. Cold beer and good vibes

Nice local business area with several bars and limited shopping.

I checked out a 12 step meeting there. It was great!!!!!

Nice and peaceful... just watch out for the 🦆💩😆😆

Mississippi Valley Blues Festival ! Venue was perfect for a blues festival. Limited fixed seating , but most people had chairs and sat further back . Line up was great .Plenty of food truck options or restaurants within walking distance .Two hotels within walking distance. Will be back .

Riverfront Pops. A great experience every year!

I liked this place. Went here for the 2023 Bluesfest. Had a great time. Nice location on the river. Very clean...

Came in for the Icestravaganza. We even got to do some Eagle Watching, very peaceful, along the Riverfront. Easy accessible, quiet, calming.

A terrific place for outdoor concerts, with the Riverfront Pops and Festival of Praise being standouts for me. Terrific location on the riverfront, with a great view of the Centennial Bridge. The stage is very nice, though it's much more pleasant to view once the sun goes down because of the angle.

She is an Old School Beauty of a Park, almost frozen in Time & the Mississippi is Her Friend that comes to visit from time to time. It's probably because of this this Park hasn't been overdeveloped & I believe that the TWO of Them know what they're doing more so than Any Potbellied Politician! Elevate river drive all along the river to protect the Concrete Jungle from Flooding & keep a Taste of Green Space for ALL of Us to Visit...

I love driving in this area. We almost walked regularly here before too until there was a shady guy that was gonna pass us that looked like he had a drink so we turned around. There are a lot of birds to see and sometimes you'll see bits of torn fish on the ground while walking. Beautiful scenery.

Watched the Davenport Challenge t-ball league.

Nice place to go. New and clean

Randomly stopped here to have lunch with my kids in the pavilion and they loved the little park here

So if your looking for the baseball fields best of luck, everything else is locatable but for some.reason the baseball diamonds are hidden.

Lovely park, beautiful 🌳 bird 😊

Baseball fields are ok. The layout of the park is terrible. Not enough parking. With 3 ball diamonds there is only 80 parking spaces. Not enough to accommodate parents, grandparents, coaches umpires and concession staff. Also, Children have to cross the parking lot to get to the play ground. The playground is terrible. Nothing for 5 and under children to play on. 5 years ago I told Park and Recreation that the bathroom doors don't close. The doors still don't shut.

A great little park with jungle gym for kids and ball diamonds. A branch library is also located here as well as a small quiet neighborhood for walking with no major hills or high traffic. Restrooms available.

The park itself is nice. The way people abuse it is something else. Apparently people think it's a dog park, but don't clean up after their dogs. They park anywhere, drive their cars all the way to the basketball court, and up in the grass next to the shelter.. Children playing with no adult around, kids left in the park while adults sit in their cars. This has an impact on others being able to enjoy it. I said what I said.....

played disc golf for the first time. lots of walking!

Easter egg hunt needed to be a little more organized. Kids were trampled. Yet was fun

This Grammy enjoyed watching the grandchildren play at a clean fun park.

We've always liked this park. Great play options (swings, slides, monkey bars) for the little and the big kids! A good venue for hosting outdoor parties of 20 or more with the pavilion and picnic tables, plus basketball hoops, frisbee golf, and a walking path nearby! Well kept grounds and the people have been welcoming and kind.

Had a great picnic with the family. Went at 11 and wanted to leave by 1, which we did. An aggressive lady showed up with her family, around 1245pm, yelling at me and family to leave because she rented the pavilion. We weren't even at the pavilion with our picnic. But because there wasn't many places to park she said we needed to leave so the people who paid to be here can park. I thought this was a public park. I don't need to pay to come play with my children and pack a picnic. We didn't use any of the tables that were in the pavilion, but this lady didn't care. I asked why she was yelling at me and she just said "I'm not yelling and you don't know me"...while yelling.

Great little frisbee golf park. Only 6 holes, they're all shorter in length, but for practice they work great. Also they have grills, unlike Western, for grilling out after a couple rounds. Giving 4 put of five 5 stars because very very little parking, and there is play ground equipment close enough to the course that messed up throw could be flying towards children. All in all I'd go back.

We held baseball practice. The infield was rough and had tufts of grass. The outfield wasn’t to far from a recently plowed field. Dugouts were adequate but really need some work.

Very nice park that is close to home. It has basketball courts, tennis courts, a play area with slide and swings, baseball diamond, and a golf course. Plenty to do for the whole family. We found this very interesting tree and my husband wanted to climb up for a photo shoot. Lol

This park is lacking thing for smaller children. The play set is mostly climbing ropes for children 5-12. No swings or slides.

They started building a park 3 months ago and got 80% of the work done. you would think they would be finished by now. NO they stopped building the park and started on a different project leaving the park half way fixed. Now it’s the holidays and still no finished park. There are nothing for these kids to do outside so they now are playing in the unfinished park sliding down a a slide into a dirt pit…. 30days later no attempts to complete the new park… IM LOOKING OUT MY BACK YARD HOPING TO TAKE MY GRANDKIDS TO THE PARK BEFORE THEY LEAVE.

Was not expecting this park to be so big, well kept, clean and above all, so empty! And on a Saturday afternoon even! We walked by the large pavilion and the last time it was reserved was mid October of 2023...our family will most definitely be making good use of as much of it as we can! I'm inspired from my childhood and early adulthood to have plenty of picnics and get togethers.

Great park to visit! Never really crowded and the grass is always mowed🙂

only played baseball there. loved the experience.

A nice overlook of the Mississippi River, with a few park benches and some beautiful historic homes behind it.

One of the best scenic look outs in the entire area. Awesome view, during all seasons. We picnic there often. It's a great place to enjoy a great view of the river valley.

Beautiful Overlook for the Mississippi River

Beautiful park all-around. Please check this place out. It's a hidden gem for sure. Bring your discs if you'd like has a perfect frisbee golf course. You won't be disappointed.

Cute grassy area with beautiful views of the Mississippi. Gorgeous old homes surrounding. No play area for kids. But a nice place for a walk with views.

It's a clean and a nice park

Another wonderful park situated in the gorgeous McClellan Heights neighborhood. Beautiful view of the Mighty Mississippi with no frills to be had.

A bit noisy, but the kids Loved it. Great equipment for toddlers or bigger kiddos. Perfect sized slides, a lot of crawl through nooks for pretending in.

Small play equipment unit for the kids which is a little close to a major intersection for my liking. Not much else to see or do. Really more of a field than a park.

The playground here is ok. There are no bathrooms. Not really much parking. Kind of in a shady area of town. We actually had a drug addict come up to us and try to use our phone.

Its a nice place to go spend time and clear ur head or take the kids.

Love the swings! I could swing for hours. Park is awesome

Nice park, quiet, clean. Good place to play football

Nice riverside park. Walking or jogging paths that connect with the city.

What can I say this place was great the scenery is amazing as you stand right up to the Great Mississippi River. Has a walking track to run ride bikes or just walk and enjoy. Would get 5* but there were a lot of bugs in the hut and in the stairs. Over this place was nice and relaxing

The park has a lot of potential. Davenport would do well to improve this area. As for an out of towner checking out the mighty Mississippi was a big draw to come to Davenport. Unfortunately the park is a bit rundown doesn’t seem particularly well cared for. The city may want to consider unaddressed needs of the unhoused population as many were located in this park.

It's not much of a park, really. Just a grassy area running along the river.

Pretty good view of the river.

Beautiful!

Small park but quiet and clean

Nice little neighborhood park

Great neighborhood park.

Ok
