Rock Island has re-established the connection of the downtown to the riverfront with the development of the Schwiebert Riverfront Park. An art deco armory building previously occupied the site, and the City of Rock Island has developed the site as a park for public access. Features include a covered stage venue, observation pavilion, park icon features, playground, river promenade, restroom building, a fountain feature, and open lawn for public gatherings and festivals.
