The Riverfront Parkway passes through the south side of the park.

The Davenport City Council narrowly rejected a proposal in October 2010 to name the new park on the east side of downtown as a veterans memorial.

[1] Instead they established a task force to find a park location for the memorial.

An entrance area to the park with three flagpoles was dedicated on Memorial Day in 2011.

Other proposed elements to the park include a 50 feet (15 m) high promontory berm, an observation spire or another type of large memorial and an amphitheater.
