Restrooms are seasonal, with additional facilities during events or inside reserved buildings. Do not expect public access inside a private pavilion rental.

Park lawns, riverwalk, skyline views, play area, and ordinary picnics are free. Parking during some events, pavilion rentals, cruises, festivals, food, and programs cost.

Paved riverwalk and developed event facilities provide accessible routes, but flood closures, grass event fields, docks, snow, and bridge grades can affect access.

Leash dogs and keep them out of private events, play equipment, food areas, and posted docks or facilities. Crowds, fireworks, heat, and river edges add risk.

Skyline views, boats, lawns, play area, picnics, riverwalk, and festivals can suit families. Supervise continuously near docks and the Mississippi River.
