Read more about this location
Riverside Park Playground is the first all-inclusive playground on the Illinois side of the Quad Cities, designed with input from the Quad City Children's Therapy Center. Official sources describe level rubber tiles for wheelchair access, interactive elements within easy reach, active-play equipment like a merry-go-round, and quieter hideaway-style features such as a cozy dome. It works well for mixed-ability family visits because the layout combines sensory consideration, smooth surfacing, and a broader park setting with restrooms, parking, sports areas, and nearby aquatic amenities.
