Nice size park, plenty of well laid out parking spaces. Park provides plenty of shelter space, natural and man-made with picnic benches and clean restrooms. The park has a good selection of playground equipment recently updated with sufficient space for kids to play and not run into each other.

Truly a beloved and cherished park in the QCs. One that our parents and theirs before them went to as children. The garden is beautifully kept, there is a huge sandbox with toys provided. A wonderful, interactive music area, a giant wooden toy train to play on and in, whimsical extra large painted chairs and even a water activities spot. Great huge playground across the parking lot as well, perfect for older kids. Literally an entire days worth of free fun for the littles. Take snacks and drinks for a picnic.

I love Fejevary because of memories but the new play ground is not appropriate for small children, its ridiculous that they ripped out the playground that was handicapped friendly for the adult play ground thats there now.

I went there for a celebration of life for my cousins deceased wife. Not the park I remember growing up as a kid . No sledding allowed, no monkey island and they moved mother goose. I guess thats what the folks in Davenport Iowa call progress.

The last day for the Mother Hoose light show was Jan. 4th. Show started at 530..However when Me and my 3 little daughters get there for the 6:00 show there was nobody there. The lights were going the music was on and the park was locked ..not to mention the other family that were out there waiting as well. Not a good look Davenport Parks and Recreation.

It used to be a fun place to walk your dogs and take your kids but between all the people washing their cars in the park and all Quinceaneras birthday parties and BBQs I feel like its not even the same park anymore.

Fantastic large park with space to run and explore plus it also has a big community pool, one of the few left in the area. When youre done swimming and exploring, make sure you stop in at the Putnam Museum which has changing exhibits and year round activities for all ages. There is also an IMAX type theatre attached which shows great films in 3D, many are first run category!

Nothing at all like it used to be. No animals at all. Theres a big sandbox, a small playground, and some hands on musical displays. Again nothing like it used to be. Also quite a bit of garbage all over the place.

I am 57 yrs old and had my 5th birthday party at Mother Goose Land. It has slightly changed since then lol great memories. My daughter painted a picture hanging up in the educational center about 17 yrs ago in day camp. What I mostly miss at Fejervary are the MONKEYS they used to have. I could sit and laugh for hours at them. The park is great and the pool is awesome compaired to the pool I took diving lessons at many many years ago. Also as someone mentioned the sledding hills where fun but also kind of dangerous as I remember. The one now is definitely safer. Nice park and lots of great memories as a child and an adult as well.

When my brother and I were younger, wed haul our slides up on top of the hills and sled down those hills until we moved to Kelling street in 1966. We always had such a fun time. The last time I was through Davenport was in 1986 when I was traveling through on my way to Cannon AFB in New Mexico, my final US Air Force assignment before retiring. I had plans to travel around now that Im retired, but neuropathy prevents me from that.

The Fejervary pool is the worst pool Ive been to in my entire life. Do NOT waste your money here!!! They should have a NO FUN sign stuck along with EVERY Other sign they have. I was a lifeguard for 10 years of my life. NEVER have I seen or had to enforce such rules at a pool. 1) I was told (as an adult) not to go UNDER the rope next to the slide after i went down...I HAD to use the stairs. 2) My niece was told she couldnt a a pep in her step and had to walk and wasnt allowed to sit on the water spouts. 3) A mother wasnt allowed to put her baby half way down and hold her baby going down the rest of the way on the BABY SLIDE. 4) My 6yr old son was too big for the baby slide and not old enough for the big slide. Makes you wonder WHAT we were able to do!
