Prospect Park Historic District
Stroll through the Prospect Park Historic District. The 23.2-acre area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is a good time to walk the grounds before the late afternoon heat sets in.
13:10
Stop for lunch at Village Corner Deli. It is an 8-minute walk from the district. They serve soups and salads made with quality breads, meats, cheeses, and veggies. It is open until 15:00 on Saturdays, so this is the last chance for a proper sit-down lunch if you are visiting on a weekend. On weekdays it stays open until 17:00.
13:40
Walk to Quad City Botanical Center. This is a 40-minute walk from the anchor point in a SSW direction. The center is located next to the Mississippi River and features botanical gardens. It is open daily except for major holidays.
14:10
End your walk at Indian Springs Park. This is a 5-minute walk from the anchor in an ENE direction. The park is located on 3 acres in a natural depression north of East River Drive. It is a quiet, natural spot to rest after your stroll.
