This is a very special place in Des Moines as it can be many things to many different people. Long walks, stress relief, back to nature, enjoy the lake, meet other people, ride your bike, do some kayaking, walk your dog, sit and relax, have a picnic, watch the sunrise or sunset, do a little fishing, have a party, or enjoy some local music. You can enjoy many things at no cost, all you need to do is show up.
