The Eagle Point site was selected by Charles Mulford Robinson, who wrote a report, "Report on the Improvement of the City of Dubuque, Iowa". A committee, led by Judge Oliver Perry Shiras, was formed and the property was acquired by the city in 1908. The park was opened in 1909.{{cite news | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090803022628/http://www.thonline.com/article.cfm?id=251145 | archive-date = 2009-08-03 | access-date = 2015-07-27 | url-status = dead | access-date = 2015-07-26

The Riverwalk, situated along the edge of the bluff, has views of the Mississippi, the Lock and Dam, the city of Dubuque, and Grant County, Wisconsin. The park offers tennis courts, horseshoe pits, playground equipment, a band shell with free music concerts, and a small wading pool for young children.{{cite web | url = http://www.cityofdubuque.org/1150/Park-Features-and-Facilities | access-date = 2015-07-26 | access-date = 2015-07-26 | archive-date = July 13, 2015 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150713002626/http://www.cityofdubuque.org/1162/Entrance-Fees-Season-Passes | url-status = dead | access-date = 2015-07-27
