Riverside Park

As a result of the 1993 flood program, INRCOG assisted with the purchase and demolition of several homes adjacent to the Wapsipinicon River. Upon completion of the flood buyout program, the City of Fairbank began developing plans to include this area in its park system. With the assistance of a $75,000 REAP grant prepared by INRCOG, Riverside Park has been transformed into one of the premier parks in Northeast Iowa. Amenities include a gazebo, butterfly garden, decorative lighting, an ice skating pond and a hard surfaced trail that connects to West Bentley Park located immediately north of Highway 281.
