Longview Park 1300 17th Street, Rock Island, IL 61201

"This place is definitely not what it once was, but they are working hard on it, and I like the elevation changes on the disc golf course. Nice walking paths. If they bring back the lagoon (as I'm told is planned) and keep up with maintenance, it could be nice again."

"A great pool, great environment!! The water slides were a big hit with our group as well as the different areas for both children and adults to enjoy swimming!"

"So much more could be done with this park...Love seeing more plantings going on."

"Longiew Park is wonderful.. at sunset it was busy with energetic young Rock Island families, moving around on the playground. Pet owners were walking the hilly paths with their dogs. A polite group of Teenagers were gathered around their parked cars. And a few older parents sat watching the younger ones. The park grounds were well managed with clusters of naturalistic grass, mixed with squirrels, groomed grass and trimed trees. I could see the rest rooms appeared to be safe and open, but I did not go in. I think, Longview park is at its seasonal peak for maximum experience. Then I searched for that one location, at this golden moment for the greatest long view. I found it.. I could easily see Iowa, Illinois and the Centennial Bridge over the Mississippi River. Centennial Bridge popped as it reflected the sun in this dry evening air. The grestest long view location will change with each sunset. But if you have the time to search for it. You may be rewarded with a present tense moment that is better than looking at a cell phone. I did not take a picture of my greatest long view. Because, I did not want this memory in my phone. I wanted in my mind. Well Done park department for Longview park."
