Vander Veer Botanical Park – Davenport Iowa

August 7, 2016

We eventually found a handicap parking spot after driving around a bit and there would’ve been more if we came in from the other side of the park. There were a lot of trails throughout the park and we walked through the vegetable garden area and the Rose Garden which were both pretty much accessible. The restroom looked like it wasn’t all that big and not that accessible, but it may have barely worked.

Comfort Inn & Suites Davenport - Quad Cities– Davenport Iowa

August 5 through August 8

There were a couple of handicap spots right in front but we usually ended up parking in the back in non-handicap spots.

 

Our room was a two queen room with a roll in shower. This was not the most spacious hotel room but it had just enough space for most things. The hoyer could go under the bed.

 

 

The bathroom worked well, the sink and toilet as well as the roll in shower. One night they didn’t replace our towels and make our beds and they said it was because we had left our do not disturb sign up, but they were cleaning next-door when we left and we took our sign down. That was one of our issues with the place.

Ferris wheel at Modern Woodmen Park – Davenport Iowa

August 6, 2016

At Modern Woodmen Park there is a wheelchair accessible Ferris wheel. I had never been on a Ferris wheel except for maybe when I was real little. This was a lot of fun being able to do something I normally wouldn’t be able to do.

Modern Woodmen Park– Davenport Iowa

This is the home ballpark of the Quad Cities River Bandits and we went this night specifically so we could get a Joe Maddon bobble head. This ballpark was an older ballpark so the concourse areas were kind of a bit crowded. They had a different gate for the handicap entry. I think it was the same one for the season ticket holders. So you just go in that door and then to the elevator. The handicap seats were at the top of the sections and fairly close to the field.

A lot of times it’s hard to eat ballparks when you can’t find a table or anything to eat off of which makes it difficult.

 

But at the handicap seats there were basically these small tables on the railing to use right next to your cup holder.
