Lincoln Park

Welcome to the Lincoln Park Project Page! The City of Bettendorf's Parks & Recreation Department is renovating this neighborhood park and this page will keep you updated as we LIVEN UP Lincoln Park!

Check out the picture below to see Lincoln Park's new playground, which was installed in late 2025. It was part of the winning concept plan chosen by the community after a Community Input Event in July 2025, where attendees voted for their favorite updates to Lincoln Park. In September 2025, City Council approved a purchase order to GameTime for new playground equipment. The $155,794 state-of-the-art playground system replaced the existing playground, which was estimated to more than 25 years old.

The other part of that concept plan is upgrades to the parking lot and the installation of a shade structure, which were both completed in Spring 2026.

YOU ARE INVITED to a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate all of these improvements on Thursday, May 28 at 5 p.m. We hope to see you there!

If you have any questions/concerns about this project, feel free to contact John Byrnes, Parks & Recreation Director at jbyrnes@bettendorf.org or (563) 344-4122.
