Terrace Room, Veranda Rooms, Indian Room and Bridge Complex

Riverfront Pavilion The Riverfront Pavilion, built in 1910, is the oldest pavilion in the park. Riverview walk was constructed in 1950 and quickly became the most popular area in the park. Viewing towers are available to the public, showcasing the panoramic view of Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois, and Mississippi River Lock and Dam #11. Shiras Memorial Pavilion The Shiras Memorial Pavilion is located at the walkway's end and was built in 1921, in honor of Judge Oliver Shiras, the person most responsible for the park's creation.

Park Entrance
The park entrance road extends from the toll booth for a quarter of a mile. A turnaround was constructed in 1912 as streetcars brought picnickers from downtown. On that spot today a large eagle statue and circular flower bed welcome you to Eagle Point Park.

Trolley Line Trail
This one half mile paved bike / hike trail follows the route of the original streetcar service to the park from the Ham House Museum parking lot to the turnaround, with a rest area including art work at the midpoint of the trail.
 
Spray Pool
The spray pool is open during park hours, weather permitting.

Rock Garden and Fish Pond
The rock garden and fish pond were also built as part of the W.P.A. project, and are made of limestone. A handicapped accessible walk extends north from the riverfront pavilion to the fish pond, avoiding the steep rock steps along the way.
