About the Venue

Schwiebert Riverfront Park Splash Pad is a downtown Rock Island splash area set along the riverfront inside a landscaped public park. The park includes paved walking paths, onsite restrooms, a performance stage, public art, lawn space for picnics, and easy access from nearby parking off 1st Avenue. This is a good fit for families who want a free splash stop paired with river views and room to linger rather than a full pool-style facility.
