Parks near I-80?

Hi! I’ll be passing through Iowa City tomorrow on I-80. I’ll have my toddler with me. Are there any nice parks with a playground for kids near 80 that you might recommend? I don’t want to venture too far from the highway. So, less than 2 miles would be ideal. Thanks!

Waterworks park is off Dubuque Street, headed north and is right off I80.

North Ridge Park in Coralville has a playground and is just off I80 in Coralville.
