Park Hill sits at the center of nearby Quad Cities

Park Hill is a neighborhood south of the Mississippi River with hilly roads and shaded sidewalks, and proximity to two popular parks. It sits at the center of the Quad Cities of Rock Island, Moline and East Moline in Illinois, while Davenport and Bettendorf sit north of the river in Iowa. The neighborhood is less than a mile from the walkable shopping district in downtown Moline, where John Deere opened his first plow factory in 1848. Today, the global company John Deere is the Quad Cities’ largest employer, with its world headquarters located in Moline.

Highly rated Moline-Coal Valley schools coupled with athletic achievements

Park Hill is in the Moline-Coal Valley School District, which has a B rating on Niche. Students may attend Logan Elementary School and Woodrow Wilson Middle School, which both have B-minus Niche ratings. At B-plus-rated Moline High School, sports play a significant role in the community, with games sometimes drawing thousands of attendees. “Just slam-packed full of people,” says Moline High School Athletic Director Todd Thompson, referring to the boys’ basketball team’s first state championship in the 2022-23 season. An undefeated boys’ soccer team and a trip to the volleyball Sweet 16 mark other recent successes. Every year since 1995, the school received the Illinois High School Association’s sweepstakes, awarded based on performances across all sports. “As far as athletics go, we’re probably one of the better choices on this side of the river,” Thompson says.

Riverside Park has activities for every season

The riverside Ben Butterworth Parkway, a mile north of Park Hill, is a popular destination to bike, walk, fish or launch a canoe. It is part of the 60-mile Great River Trail that passes the Quad Cities Botanical Center, a Dutch windmill and the Mississippi Palisades State Park. Riverside Park, a mile east of Park Hill, offers attractions for every season — ice skating on the lagoon, gardens and a pool with slides and a lazy river. Pickleball, softball, baseball and sand volleyball facilities are also available. The Riverside Cemetery, where John Deere is buried, is not technically part of the park, but residents frequently walk along its paths. “Those are two of our more popular parks,” says Stacy Laake, customer service and marketing coordinator for Moline’s Parks and Recreation Department. “No matter where you live in Moline, you are probably using one or both of those parks.”

Riverside Park is the place for Park Hill residents to exercise or relax.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data.
