I Have been to baby showers, and Graduation parties. Both were good times great lake also, maybe you like to sneak off from the party, and try for a few bites instead while no one is looking. ;) either way great park tucked away behind the hustle and bustle of the city life.
What a hidden gem! Absolutely breathtaking and secluded. Plan to spend a lot more time visiting.
I personally love Fort Des Moines Park, it offers everything you would expect in a park. There are nice big fields, they provide grills and a number of pavilions, one even has a fireplace like grill under the pavilion. Not to mention the couple miles of mostly paved walking/biking trails. They even offer boat access to the lake as well as a couple floating docks. And like every good park needs they have a play place for children and at least 4 strategically placed non-unisex restrooms.
Great place to fish. Had a lot of fun today. The park is well kept and beautiful. Lots of fish, bluegill, channel catfish, and bass. The trails are well maintained and free of garbage. Would rate higher than 5 star if it was possible!
It was great! Lots of trees and water. But, unfortunately, no purple marlins at the moment.
