Panorama Park

History

Panorama Park exists due to a road maintenance controversy from the early 1950s. The city of Bettendorf ignored requests to maintain the thoroughfare known as Park Avenue, a dirt road which was often left icy or muddy. The neighborhood surrounding Park Avenue decided to incorporate the community as Panorama Park in an effort to pay for the road's maintenance directly. Since its 1953 incorporation, the residents of Panorama Park have maintained their independence, paying lower taxes than residents of the surrounding Bettendorf.
