About

Welcome to the Edgewood 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 ENERGIZE Edgewood Park!

You are invited to a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Thursday, August 27, 2026 at 5 p.m. as we celebrate the new playground that was installed in May 2026 and the new rentable shelter that was built in July 2026 (see pictures below)!

These upgrades were voted on by parkgoers during a Community Input Event in May 2025. Both the playground and the shelter were then approved by City Council in September 2025. The $132,069 state-of-the-art playground system from BCI Burke Company, LLC replaced the existing playground, which was estimated to be more than 15 years old, and the $92,283 shelter is from Creative Sites.

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

The Bettendorf Parks & Recreation Department has a simple mission - “To provide accessible, diverse, and inclusive experiences that enhance the quality of life and create a sense of place and community for all”. Our goal is to work everyday to give you, the residents of Bettendorf, the best experience possible while we enhance quality of life offerings in our community.
