Take a Walk and Enjoy a Picnic in QC Parks

Beautiful gardens, green space, and tall, shady trees are a natural part of the Quad Cities’ many parks and neighborhoods, so it only seems natural that people who love flowers, gardens, and parks are attracted to the area. Take a walk through our many parks and take in the fresh air.

From the spectacular views of the Mississippi River, playground and picnic areas, interactive fountains, to the waterfront promenades, bike trails, and beautifully landscaped grounds, people of all ages can enjoy the beauty of QC parks.

Let your dog explore too! While your favorite pooch can visit our parks on a leash, why not let them get a real workout? The Quad Cities is home to several dog parks that provide enclosed, off-leash fun and activities. Check out Butterworth Dog Park, Crow Creek Dog Park, Eleanor Wallace Dog Park, Centennial Park, and North Marquette Dog Park.
