  I grew up in this area, and this park used to be a family favorite. Now with low funding, the city has pretty much given up on it. There are swings for kids, a frisbee golf course, fishing and other activities, but things have gotten run down. If you want to have a family picnic June to October, it is ok but not great.

  Around Christmas, the park attracts bald eagles from all over the area and you can watch them feed off of fish they catch in the Mississippi. There is ample parking around the island and many places where you can picnic.

  Wanted to walk at this beautifully located park alongside the Missippi, but after a few hundred feet the mozzies attacked! Without insect repellant had no choice but to drive around and then away! Don't forget the repellant!

  I lived on credit island as a child, my father was the greenskeeper, and as such we lived on the park in the large building next to the tennis courts, at that time there was a connecting wall to enclose the area that housed the machinery they used to maintain the golf course, forming a huge courtyard where me and my siblings used to play. I was 9 years old when we moved there from a house on sturdevant street just north of Marycrest coledge on top of the hill. I have many memories of how it used to look, as children we had the run of the park with all the slides and swings, ice skateing in the winter and warming ourselves by the pot belly stove in the pavilion by the lagoon. Almost every year it flooded and causeway went under water and the island became a island again, I remember having to take a boat to go to school during those times. My Father who was the superentendant of the work crews drove the tank onto the island where it now sits, he knew how to since he was a tanker in the army during ww2 he then welded the hatchs shut so kids could not get in and maybe get hurt, God only knows how many kids have played on that tank since that day back in 1959 it was a great experience living on the park a unique one for sure.

  We enjoyed the native plants, surrounded by the Mississippi River, walking on the Credit Island Bridge, and seeing a large flock of white pelicans and herons, the large sculpture of "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," and especially the informative markers that told about the island's history, the mammals and waterfowl.

  A little something for everyone! Harbor side of the park was filled with Pelicans, geese, ducks, herons. The river side had some people in fishing boats, kayaks, and even some one Kite surfing on the river, disc golfers, kids playing on the army tank and playground, people walking their dogs and fishing off the banks of the Mississippi River. There were bicyclist, nature hikers, walkers, classic cars cruzin' around, motorcyclist, the park was full of people enjoying a laid back Sunday. You almost forget you are in the city, although there is a great view of downtown Davenport from the banks of the Island.

  This is a great park for bike riding, fishing, walking, running (2.6 mile paved loop), disc golf, bird watching, and just relaxing. It is a family friendly park. The lodge is under repair, but that should be done by spring of 2014. When the leaves change color, this is the best place to be.

  Credit IslandIs one of the few island that you are able to drive to.It has a nice paved road around the island with picnic tables and place to fish or just watch the river and wild life. There are ball diamonds and basket courts and a playground for the little ones. There is a nine hole golf course but the lodge was destroyed by fire last spring and it is hoped it will be re-build by this spring.If you are in the Quad Cities this is a good place to spend a afternoon.

  They had their statues from the painting of Sunday in the Park. I understand they just repainted them all. Such a delight to see them out again.
