Jacolyn Park

A Natural Retreat in the Neighborhood

Positioned in a residential area of Cedar Rapids, Jacolyn Park's 5 acres offer a peaceful escape without having to venture far from home. This little green haven balances open spaces with the cooling shade of mature trees, creating an ideal spot to spend a few hours outdoors.

One of the park's most charming features is the small creek that winds its way through the grounds. There's something inherently calming about the sound of moving water as you enjoy the well-kept lawns and seasonal flowers that add splashes of color year-round.

Get Moving or Cool Down

If you're looking to break a sweat or entertain the kids, there are several options. Sports enthusiasts can shoot hoops at the basketball court or play a casual game at the baseball field.

On hot Iowa summer days, the splash pad becomes the park's main attraction, with children darting through water sprays and enjoying the refreshing cool-down. The recently constructed playground sits nearby, featuring good quality equipment that keeps local kids coming back regularly - as evidenced by how busy it often gets!

Perfect for Picnics

When hunger strikes, head over to the park's pavilion which comes equipped with a grill and plenty of places to sit. You'll discover picnic tables scattered across the grounds too, making it easy to claim a spot for your family lunch or small get-together.

The thoughtful layout means you can keep an eye on kids playing while you prepare food at the grilling area. And if the weather takes a turn, the pavilion provides welcome shelter without ending your outdoor adventure.

Where Neighbors Come Together

Jacolyn Park is more than just a recreational space - it's a place where locals often connect. Its convenient location makes it a go-to spot for neighborhood gatherings, pick-up games, and simply unwinding after a long day.

The park welcomes visitors of all ages, creating an atmosphere where families, solo visitors, and four-legged friends can all enjoy the outdoors. Speaking of furry companions, the park is dog-friendly, but you'll need to keep your pup leashed during your visit.

For added convenience, restroom facilities are available on-site - just be aware they might occasionally be locked, so plan accordingly.
