Really great park. Lots of shaded areas and play areas for all ages. Only problem is that people do not clean up after themselves. There was liter everywhere.

I was a school bus driver, and took many bus loads of kids here for a field trip. Its a fun place to wear kids out on playing on safe play ground equipment. Kids are not bored here!! Nice picnic areas under shelters!! Theres benches for parents /grandparents to watch the kids! Theres even a tennis court! Today I took 5 grand kids. They loved it!

Wonderful little park. Been taking my kids here for years. There’s a nice playground with modern jungle gym type things, slides, basketball area, and there’s nice benches and pavilions. The restrooms are sometimes locked though. Hard to predict. Great park though!

Its a turf based playground, which makes it ideal to take my kids to, even after a rainy day. This park has always had a positive feel and my children and I enjoy, every time.

One of our absolute favorite parks. It is awesome for kids as young as 1. And has a lot of picnic shelters and is pretty safe with fencing all the way around. Love to go here & get the kids on the roller slide.

I grew up here when it was still Rocket Park with the rockets.Its very clean and spacious.

It is a wonderful park with plenty of things to do, only reason its getting 4 stars is because it needs a bit of upkeep. Some of the swings and other parts are so squeaky and grinding you can hardly stand it.

Very nice park with plenty of activities for kids of all ages. There are multiple different structures from everyone to choose from. Some of them seem more tailored for the little ones while the others are clearly for the older children. Pavilions and bathrooms are also present.

I love that there is green space and play equipment. I have kids of vastly different ages and they both love this park. There are several picnic shelters too, so there are usually places to sit and have shade.

McManus park, known locally as rocket park is a popular stop for families and kids. It is always clean and has a very fun space theme. I have many fond memories here especially back when they had some of the less safe but cooler looking playground pieces.

Full of folks and children despite the weather...( Cold wind, cloudy ). Birthday party for great granddaughter seemed very entertaining by her classmates who came. 3 pavilions all being used.... Big park in middle. Public bathrooms and a pop machine. This is the former Rocket Park in Bettendorf.......

Awesome park. Swings, benches, small shelters with picnic tables, tennis courts, basketball court, a field, 2 playgrounds, and more swings. This place definitely gets busy with many kids. One playground is geared for smaller children and the 2nd one is for bigger kids- elementary & teens. Great place to spend a few hours at. Also great area for a picnic.

This park is a great mix of traditional playground equipment and handicap accessible equipment. There was something for each one of my kids (2, 3 & 5) to do and they all had fun! The park also has little educational spots sprinkled throughout, like teaching Braille or about the solar system, etc. Theres also a pavilion and bathrooms nearby if you want to bring lunch and stay longer.

One of my childs favorite parks! We have even made an effort to stop by after moving out of town. Equipment is good and well maintained, with a variety of activities to occupy a youngsters attention. (And burn off that excess energy!) The park grounds are generally very clean. On-site restrooms are in good condition for public park facilities.

Known locally as Rocket Park because of its theme, this is a very nice park that is maintained well. There is a very large area for kids to play with soft turf and many activities. The location is right off of i74 and is frequented by both Iowans and Illinoisans alike. Ample parking, shelter, and bathrooms as well.
