The Med Q celebrated the completion of the pocket park, "MedQ Park on 3rd" (the park next to the gallery) and the MedQ Mile walking route. 

Cedar Rapids Mayor Hart, members of the Cedar Rapids Medical Self Supported Municipal Improvement District Commission, and other local officials were in attendance to speak about the park and future plans for the district. 

The MedQ Park on 3rd opened a new green space in the District. The park will provide a pedestrian and bike-friendly green space well-suited for yoga classes, musical events, food trucks, and additional programming. 

The MedQ Mile is a one-mile loop in the District well suited for pedestrians and people in wheelchairs. It promotes healthy activities for employees and visitors in the District. For more information on the MedQuarter or strategic initiatives throughout the District, visit www.themedq.com.
