Eastern Avenue Park

A Green Retreat in Davenport

Set in the eastern part of Davenport, Iowa, Eastern Avenue Park spreads across 40 peaceful acres at 2900 Eastern Avenue. Located right next to Garfield Park, it offers a natural escape in the urban landscape.

The park's diverse terrain welcomes you with open grassy fields, shaded wooded areas, and a serene lagoon. Duck Creek meanders through the grounds, adding a soothing soundtrack of flowing water that makes everyday stress seem a little more distant.

Paths for Movement and Mindfulness

A well-maintained paved path stretches just over a mile along the eastern edge of the park. The trail is suitable for walking, jogging, or biking. It's also part of the broader Quad Cities trail network, so you can extend your journey if you're feeling adventurous.

The bike path connects seamlessly to Garfield Park and tends to attract a friendly crowd of runners, cyclists, and dog walkers. For those looking to level up their workout, you'll come across Genesis-sponsored exercise machines across the street - a nice touch for combining natural beauty with fitness goals.

Disc Golf Adventures

The park features a popular 18-hole disc golf course. With its generous open spaces and considerable length, this course has become something of a local favorite.

Two creeks cut through the terrain, creating natural water hazards that add a bit of excitement (or frustration, depending on your throw!) to several holes. If you're new to the course, you might want to check out a map beforehand - first-timers sometimes find the layout a bit tricky to navigate on their own.

Comfort and Convenience

The park includes picnic areas where you can enjoy a meal or gather with friends.

You'll find clean restroom facilities near the parking area and beverage vending machines when you need to quench your thirst. The grounds are typically well-kept, offering a pleasant setting for connecting with nature - watching squirrels dart between trees or simply enjoying the changing seasons.

Eastern Avenue Park falls under the care of Davenport's Parks and Recreation Department, which does a solid job of maintaining this community space where people come to play, exercise, and find moments of tranquility in their busy lives.
