The upcoming bicentennial of the Battle of Credit Island has spurred new interest in the battlefield, including a research project to try to identify the location of fighting on the island.

Today, Credit Island is a 420-acre (1.7 km²) community park under the jurisdiction of Davenport Parks and Recreation.
It features: a disc golf course, rugby, soccer, baseball and softball fields.
There is also fishing, picnic shelters, a bicycle trail and is the scene of many public events.
Credit Island is also popular for sight-seeing and eagle watching.

In May 2010, the city of Davenport received a grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa to conduct an archaeological study of one of the Mississippi River islands near the Iowa shoreline.

In 2012, construction began on a bridge on the west side of the island, linking the Mississippi River Trail bike path to Concord Street in Davenport.

On May 2, 2013 Credit Island Lodge caught on fire.
The lodge was restored in 2015
