One of my favorite places in Dubuque. The park offers a beautiful view of the Mississippi, and at the right time of year, you will often see bald-headed eagles (for those of a more mechanical bent, you can also watch barges passing through Lock and Dam No. 11). There are several pavillions which were strongly influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and are striking in their own right. There's also a wading pool for the kids, horseshoe pits for the adults, and a small amphiteater for summer concerts. You can reserve the pavillions ahead of time through the city park department.

There's a minimal entrance fee if you drive into the park at the south entrance, but if you drive to the north end, you can walk in for free.

Beautiful - great place for a picnic, or to watch the glorious Mississippi and her barge and water traffic in action!
