Des Moines Water Works

A little birdie (Jamie Mayo) let me know about this.
It sounds amazing and looks even more amazinger.

If you're into taking pictures of your kids in beautiful settings, you'll especially like this.

Water Works Park

Located on Fleur Drive directly across from Gray's lake, Water Works Park covers One of many beautiful flower beds in Water Works Parknearly 1,500 acres of open wooded areas. The park stretches from Fleur Drive west of 63rd Street, bounded by the Raccoon River on the north edge and George Flagg Parkway to the south.

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. Large, open areas are available for team sports such as softball, tag football, and soccer. For more information on bike trails go to www.ci.des-moines.ia.us/departments/PR/trails.htm


And while we're on the subject, Gray's Lake across from this park has paddle boats that they rent out for (I think) $5 an hour. Such a fun way to spend a Saturday (and get a good leg workout in - wow.)

Thanks Jamie!
