What a beautiful place of peace high above the Mississippi RiverBend! Amazing panoramic view for miles.One of my very favorite sunset spots. The perfect place to launch Chinese Lanterns also.Gotta check it out if youve never been there.

Great view. Under construction for what feels like 20yrs if they just would finish the repairs it would be a perfect park!

One or favorite places to walk the dogs. The park has a sweeping view of the Mississippi River and is also surrounded by a charming neighborhood filled with examples of different architectural periods. There are grand homes next to charming cottages, and even a few 1960s style brick ranch houses. The restrooms were locked (early March); I dont know when they are opened.
