About the Venue

Meier Park Playground in Bettendorf was replaced with a new playground system in 2023. The city says the play area includes a playset for ages 2 to 5, a playset for ages 5 to 12, a spinner, a merry-go-round, and six swings including two handicap-accessible swings, all installed on a synthetic turf safety surface. Families also get practical park amenities like restrooms, a shelter, grill, ball field, court space, and a recreation trail, which makes this an appealing neighborhood-plus park for mixed-age outings.
