Timeline
14:00
Begin your walk at Sunderbruch Park. The park’s 7-mile system offers varied terrain, from gentle green trails through wooded scenery to more challenging black diamond sections. Even if you do not bike, the well-maintained paths provide a pleasant, active start to the afternoon.
14:28
Walk northeast for about 28 minutes to Old Schuetzen Park. This 26-acre park, developed by the Davenport Schuetzengesellschaft, offers a distinct historic atmosphere with rolling green hills and mature trees. It is a quiet spot for a brief pause and a change of scenery from the trail-focused Sunderbruch Park.
14:53
Continue your short walk to the nearby Schuetzen Park Historic Site. Located just 25 minutes from Sunderbruch Park, this site preserves the heritage of the area. Use this time to reflect on the history of the neighborhood before heading home.
Local tip
