Greater Ottumwa Park is the jewel of the Ottumwa parks system. A community park covering over 300 acres in the center of our community, Greater Ottumwa Park boasts excellent connection to our network of trails, location at the crossroads of Highways 34 and 63 and proximity to the Bridge View events center, the Beach Ottumwa, the Quincy Place Mall and shopping district, the Church St. and Richmond Ave. Oxbow Business District and downtown Ottumwa.

As part of developing the Our Ottumwa 2040 Comprehensive Plan, Confluence developed an Ottumwa Park Reimagined map. This map was heavily influenced by the 2015 Riverfront Renaissance concept plan created by the Ottumwa Regional Legacy Foundation. This map was a thought exercise in designing a layout for Greater Ottumwa Park that brought the quality of amenities and level of service that the community hoped to obtain. We see this planning project as the next step, moving from imagination to an action-ready plan we can start implementing.
