Parks R' Us

Des Moines' Water Works park is a wonderful place to relax during a busy afternoon. Make sure to drive all the way to the back of the grounds, as the river bends and twists through the grassy fields.
Water Works Park is open to the public every day between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. except for Thanksgiving and December 24-25.
Biking, jogging, picnicking, fishing and hiking are a few of the activities that park patrons enjoy. Picnic areas, complete with tables and grills, are located in several areas of the park.
