    We were glad to find this park for a walk, the day after a long drive. It is popular with locals, judging from all the cyclists, runners, walkers, etc., that we saw. Very clean, no litter.

    We enjoyed walking around this beautiful lake with views of the downtown of Des Moines. There is also a beach for swimming, fishing, playground, and canoes, kayaks, and boats available to rent.

    Great place in Des Moines to go for a walk or just relax outside. It has multiple sitting spots to enjoy the water or if you want to wait until dark you can watch the bridge light up with multi-colored lights which are very cool!
  • By Christian
    I really like this lake park. Lots of green in may/June, lively and a great 2 mile run or walk. Bring fish food for the carp along the lake when crossing the bridge, you will likely see some near you.
