Cork Hill Park

A Piece of History in Davenport

Nestled in the heart of Davenport, Cork Hill Park spans a cozy 6 acres within the Cork Hill District - an area that's earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places. Sitting right next to LeClaire Heights Park, this compact park has been the backdrop for countless neighborhood memories over the years.

If these trees could talk, they'd tell stories of generations of locals who've come here to unwind, play catch, or simply enjoy a quiet afternoon in this charming neighborhood space.

Who Keeps It Running?

The park falls under the care of Davenport Parks and Recreation, the folks who maintain all the green spaces around the city. Like other parks across Davenport, Cork Hill serves the neighborhood with spaces for active play and quiet relaxation.

What You'll Find There

For the active visitors, Cork Hill features a baseball field, a basketball court, and even a horseshoe pit for fans of this classic pastime.

Families gravitate toward the playground area, while the shelter provides a fantastic spot for birthday parties and family gatherings.

The relatively new splash pad has become a summer favorite - there's nothing quite like watching kids squeal with delight as they dash through the water jets on a hot Iowa day. Throughout the seasons, the well-maintained grounds offer a pleasant backdrop for whatever brings you outdoors.

When to Visit

One of Cork Hill's charms is its laid-back vibe - it rarely feels crowded, making it fantastic for those times when you want some recreation without the hustle and bustle.

If you're looking for a bit more action, keep an eye out for community events that pop up year-round. The Easter activities for children are particularly delightful.

And for the gamers among us - the park has unexpectedly become something of a hotspot for Pokemon Go enthusiasts, with several Pokestops and Pokemon gyms scattered throughout. Don't be surprised if you see people wandering around, phones in hand, on a digital scavenger hunt!
