All the parks are nice (and there are plenty) this one has a bit of history, burial mounds! Also a pleasant view of the river. But lots of duck poop (lots of ducks) there is also access to a walking/ biking bridge that leads to the other side of the river where on Friday night there is a outdoor market w/food trucks.

Fireworks July 4th, 1997. Awesome. Im from Rockford. Remember this little park so well. Im 65 now and cant get around like I used to, so probably no more fireworks for me up there.

Its not always the safest environment for certain families Or couples times I have brought the wife and kids down there did not go so well too many drunks Stumbling around the place sleeping on the benches really need a standby officer to walk through and clear out the garbage, If you see where Im going with this but other than that its kind of a really cool place to brain the kids or just a nightly stroll with the wife once Its suitable for that kind of thing.

Small but important park. Theres a memorial to vets in the front of the park, Indian burrial grounds in the middle, and a lovely river front at the very back of the park. (Part of the river walk parks)

I see dead people. Honestly I dont get the whole burial mound but I do love the people that gather here in the park. Imagi Deo,the image of God - such opportunity to be a faithful witness to the glory of God. (Not safe at night)
