A nice over look of the Mississippi River but you cannot really see the bridge from there. A bench viewing binolulars, kind of hard to find, limited parking. Mostly just an overlook, not really a park.

Cute little scenic stop over looking the Mississippi river in Burlington Iowa. If you are looking for a Park you might be disappointed.This is more of a look out point to take photos with a bench or two. Nice place to visit if you are in town as a tourist or even if you live nearby.

This is such a lovely place. There is no playground equipment or grills, but it is a wonderful peaceful place where a person can sit on a bench and watch the boats and barges go by. There are even binoculars set on a stand, although only one eyepiece works. There are two benches and a lovely view. I remember my brother taking me here when I was little and it was such a treat to just spend time watching the Mississippi River.

One of the best river views in town, Mosquito Park has been a lovely little picnic spot in Burlington for over a century. There is no playground equipment and its small, but picturesque - great spot to stop for photos. Theres also a nice little drinking fountain with a doggie-bowl attached so your pet can get a drink, too. If youre visiting Burlington for the first time, youll definitely want to stop and enjoy the view in one of the citys loveliest old neighborhoods.

Park is named because in comparison to other parks, its the size of a mosquito. A good viewpoint & viewing style park. Not for small kids, no playground or restroom.
