Miss K. • August 13, 2015One of my favorite Des Moines recreational places, Gray's Lake is wonderful for walks, bird watching, and boating. When my children were young, we spent a lot of time at the beach!
Jim D. • March 6, 2011A great place for some trail running. Tons of connecting points to other Des Moines routes.
American Heart A. • December 14, 2011One lap around the park is just shy of half a mile so take a few laps and really admire all this amazing public art!
Healthiest Iowa • September 1, 2011The real attraction is the old-fashioned carousel that's still just 50 cents per ride. But once your child (or you) has had enough of that, there's a rocket ship slide and a wading pool to check out.
Jennifer W. • August 22, 2015The lake is currently being dredged along with other improvements to the park. So have patience and check back!
