Confirmed from Schwiebert Riverfront 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.
Polished community gathering place with water views, a playground, splash pad & outdoor music area.
What runners say about Schwiebert Riverfront Park
“The park was well maintained and looked like it would be a super fun time during community events and festivals.”
“Excellent sound and beautiful scenery with a backdrop of the Mississippi River.”
This is a lovely park, great for family and just going by yourself too. It overlooks the Mississippi River and downtown Davenport, IA. There is a walking trail and a boating dock (as pictured).
Very nice river front playground that includes a bike path, a free water spray park, a music performance area, and more, located near the Rock Island train depot and a beautiful trail leading to a hidden sandy area along the Mississippi River.
Great place to view the river and walk. Also has a nice band shell and a park for the kids. There is a bike path also. Relaxing atmosphere.
