Closed for the summer
Moline broke ground in April at Riverside Family Aquatic Center, which is undergoing $6.8 million in renovations. Updates will include three water slides, a lazy river, splash pad, new shade structures, new shade structures, updated concessions, nighttime lights, a shared park shelter, and family restrooms. Riverside will reopen Memorial Day weekend 2024.Â
Work at Bettendorf's Splash Landing will begin this month. The water park will be replaced with a new pool, water slides, and a lazy river as part of a $21 million project to the aquatic center and create Frozen Landing at the corner of 23rd Street and Middle Road for winter recreation.
Construction will occur in phases with plans to open the 12,500-square-foot swimming pool in summer 2024. Work will then pause for the summer and resume in September on the three-story slides, 430-foot lazy river, and 3,700-square-foot splash pad. The goal is to finish and fully open in May 2025.Â
