Integrated green spaces for daily use
"Karstens Park is a real neighborhood park with a baseball diamond, basketball court and new playground. It was the oldest playground in Moline, but it was replaced in 2021. There’ve been heavy investments made in the past few years to revitalize the spaces,” says Eric Griffith, the Director of Parks and Recreation for Moline for the past four years. “Stephens Park is a regional park and is much larger. It draws people from all across Moline, and there’s a Belgian Fest that happens every year that brings people from around the Quad Cities. They also have different activities like Rolle Bolle (a Belgian form of bowling). There are leagues and some tournaments here.”

The neighborhood is centrally located and is just two miles from downtown Moline and the Mississippi River. Just over 2 miles away, residents have UnityPoint Health-Trinity Moline medical center. It’s 5 miles from Quad Cities International Airport, 6 miles from Black Hawk College and 175 miles from Chicago.Ice cream socials, after-school programs and integrated technology
Students might attend schools like Eugene Field Elementary, John Deere Middle or Moline Senior High. John Deere Middle earned a C-plus from Niche, while Field Elementary and Moline Senior High have a B and B-plus, respectively. Eugene Field Elementary is known for its incredibly active Parent Teacher Association. It sponsors ice cream socials, book fairs and a family trivia night. John Deere Middle participates in the Lights on for Learning program, which tutors children before or after school and on Saturdays. Moline Senior High began as a two-room schoolhouse in the late 1800s. Today, it’s a one-to-one technology school where each student receives a Chromebook for classroom use.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
