The Children’s Playground



Bringing together children with a variety of abilities and needs on one very fun playground, our Children’s Playground is a purposeful and valuable contribution to the Arboretum.

Located in Marshall Park, its play equipment was donated and constructed by the Dubuque Noon Lions Club. Other major donors included The Dr. Edward Scott Memorial Fund, Walmart, Theisen’s, Hager Industries, the City of Dubuque, DABG, and Manders Concrete. Thank you!

Featuring a covered pavilion with open-air tables and grills, restroom facilities are nearby.
