Schuetzen Park, Urban forest park in Davenport, Iowa.
The 26-acre park contains three circular hiking trails through Mississippi Upland Forest, featuring valleys and diverse terrain for outdoor activities.
Founded in 1870 by the Davenport Schuetzengesellschaft, the park initially served as a target shooting practice ground in traditional German style.
The park previously included an inn, music pavilion, dance hall, shooting range, roller coaster, bowling alleys, and a zoo for community gatherings.
Visitors can select hiking routes lasting between 10 to 45 minutes, with benches placed along the trails for rest stops.
The 1911 Egyptian Revival style streetcar station remains the single original structure from the park's early period.
