Confirmed from Marquette Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Nice large field, playground next to shelter with picnic table's and a small wrap around side walk to the play ground so you can take a casual stroll as you watch your kids playing.
One of many hidden gems in Davenport. Marquette Park is located in a more suburban area of town centered on a creek, but is very peaceful. It’s a smaller park with bike trails leading to other parks nearby. I spent many nights with friends going on little walks throughout the darker trails of this park.
Marquette Park is primarily based on minor Little League, a playground, a bike path, two Pavilions two grills, it's a small Park but it is right along the Duck Creek Causeway and the bike path which makes it popular for bikers bicyclist, not crowded and a very nice place to go.
