Great park!!! Highway 136 is one of my favorite motorcycle routes through Missouri and Illinois. I always stop at this park in Keokuk. Great views of the River, bridge, and locks. The dam is their and power plant. It’s a nice place for picnic.

Really neat place right on the Mississippi River. Within walking distance you can watch barges and their rugs go thru the lock. There is an old steam tugon dry display that is a museum and for a small fee you can tour it. Well worth a stop.

The picnic tables are nice, but infested with spiders and wasps. We sat on the bench and watched the river. They are otherwise clean and have quite a few trash cans. No toys for kids, but there is a good view.

Victory Park is a very well kept park with plenty of seating areas,some with tables and overhead protection...one is quite large. It also has a nice restroom area and drinking fountain and plenty of parking space.

Sons wedding was here - I remember when it was the only bridge across (toll $0.25 first - then I think it was $0.50) until it was replaced. I used to walk and bicycle across as a kid. They installed wooden planks over the open steel grate floor so its not scary anymore.

Great view of the riverfront. You can even catch a frieght train going by or a barge passing through the lock-and-dam.or if your a history-buf, you can view an old Mississippi River Boat and some memorials here. Not much of a place to bring your kids to play though as there isnt much for playground equipment.If youre a Pokemon GO trainer, there are lots of poke-stops and gyms here.

They. have restrooms they built over a year ago but they are never unlocked there is only picnic tables no equipment for children anymore but there is a fantastic view of the river in my opinion it should be called a rest area instead of a park
