Muscatine parks are now open.

The playgrounds in all City of Muscatine parks are now available for use by the public. Most facilities have reopened including Pearl City Station, the Riverview Center, shelters in the various parks, the Musser Skate Park, and the ball diamonds at Kent Stein Park.

Rest room facilities are open and are being cleaned daily but drinking fountains will not be turned back on as yet. The Soccer Complex also remains closed at the present time.

Parks and Recreation officials urge all members of the public enjoying the City of Muscatine facilities to practice social distancing, wear a mask as needed, and to wash hands for at least 20 seconds as part of a personal hygiene regime.

Registration for summer programs is currently underway. You can download a PDF version of the Parks & Recreation 2020 Summer Brochure by clicking HERE.
