Captain Jake Ringering Park at Clifton Terrace is a beautiful 3-acre park located on the Meeting of the Great Rivers Scenic Byway along the Mississippi River. It is also a rest stop on the state-owned Vadalabene Bike Trail. This park offers a playground, prairie remnant, memorial trees, an informative kiosk, and restroom facilities. This is also a great place for eagle-watching during the winter months. Ringering was a fire caption with the Godfrey Fire Department. He was killed while battling a house fire in Bethalto back in March and the park was renamed for him in 2019. 

The playground has a smaller play structure, 3 spring ride-on animals, tunnels, slides, and some bars and poles to climb on.
