Davis Park

Davis Park in Rockford is getting a major facelift, so here are some of my favorite memories.

The Lorden building at Davis Park will likely become a piece of Rockford's past.

The proposed plan for the renovation of Davis Park in Downtown Rockford includes an 11,000-square-foot beach and other family fun amenities.

If you know Rockford, you know Friday Night Flix is a pretty big deal. Free admission, delicious snacks for purchase, and a fun time with the entire family.

The COVID-19 pandemic knocked everything out of the summer of 2020. The year off from fireworks will soon be forgotten when you see what's planned for 2021.

Davis Park in Rockford is about to get a brand new dose of floating fun!

I sometimes feel badly for those who are too young to have experienced the fun of a drive-in movie. At one time, Rockford had several drive-in movie theaters to choose from, but those days are long gone. Now, the closest drive-in that I could find is 39 miles away in McHenry. Don't despair, though. There's a great alternative right here in town.

Food trucks, a skate park, riverfront seating and  a climbing wall? Those are all things that are in the future plans of Davis Park.
