Centennial Park

Centennial Park spreads across a large area along the Mississippi River with multiple recreational zones for different activities. The site features a boat ramp, basketball courts, playground equipment, and a dedicated skateboarding facility with ramps and obstacles for riders.

The site was originally a landfill that closed in the 1970s before being transformed into a public park through a major city initiative in the 2000s. This conversion turned an unused industrial area into a destination for recreation and community activities.

The skateboarding area serves as a gathering place for riders of all skill levels, making the sport visible and accessible to the wider community. Young people and families often use different sections of the park simultaneously, creating an informal social hub.

The park is accessible daily and provides on-site parking for visitors arriving by car. Local public transportation connects the area to other parts of the city, making it reachable without a vehicle.

The skateboarding area ranks among the largest and most developed facilities of its kind in the region, drawing riders from communities far beyond Davenport. It has become a destination point for serious enthusiasts seeking quality terrain for their sport.
