About the Location

A Natural Retreat

Located at 3200 North Marquette Street in Davenport, Iowa, Marquette Park spreads across 31 peaceful acres of recreational space and community gathering areas.

The park quietly hugs the shores of Duck Creek, giving you direct access to the Duck Creek Recreation Trail - perfect if you're in the mood for a leisurely stroll, an energizing jog, or a bike ride alongside flowing water. With its blend of open meadows and tree-lined areas, the park provides a nice escape from the daily routine.

Play Your Way

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the two baseball diamonds where you can catch an impromptu game or watch local teams in action. If you've got kids in tow, the playground area provides a wonderful outlet for their energy, with equipment suitable for different ages. There's plenty of seating where you can relax while keeping an eye on the little ones, and some welcome shade for those warmer Iowa days.

The creek isn't just pretty to look at - it's also a local fishing spot where you might spot people quietly casting their lines, hoping for a catch while enjoying the tranquility of the flowing water.

Gather & Connect

Planning a get-together? The park features a reservable shelter that's ideal for picnics and small gatherings. Despite what some information might suggest, you'll come across electrical outlets available in certain areas of the park - handy for those portable speakers or crockpots.

There's also a community shelter complete with a grill, making it fantastic for cookouts and BBQs. The park's peaceful atmosphere creates an ideal backdrop for celebrations like graduation parties or simply enjoying lunch away from the hustle and bustle.

Trails Worth Exploring

Marquette Park is tucked into a suburban neighborhood but offers a surprisingly natural setting. The trails here don't just loop around the park - they connect to other green spaces nearby, making it a great starting point if you're looking for a longer adventure on foot or by bike.

The park's connection to the broader Duck Creek Recreation Trail system is particularly appealing if you're a cycling enthusiast wanting to explore more of the city's natural corridors. These connecting pathways offer scenic views that remind you of Iowa's natural beauty.

Good to Know

You can find restroom facilities across the park that are open seasonally and generally kept in good condition. The park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 9PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to enjoy everything it has to offer.
