Haskell Park

A Touch of History

Haskell Park in Cedar Rapids is named after Willis "Billy" Haskell - reportedly one of the most colorful characters in Cedar Rapids' history. This small triangular green space sits along what was once the Lincoln Highway route.

What You'll Find

Don't expect sprawling meadows here - Haskell Park is modest in size, but offers a peaceful escape from the surrounding urban landscape. It's the kind of place where you can take a quick breather, enjoy a moment of quiet, or simply appreciate some greenery amid the city streets.

The park's distinctive triangular shape is created by the intersection of streets that meet at this spot. While it keeps things simple with basic amenities, it's a nice neighborhood spot for locals looking to spend a bit of time outdoors.

Heritage Connection

What gives this small urban retreat a touch of significance is its position along a historic route - a little reminder of Cedar Rapids' past nestled right in the present-day cityscape.
