I like the layout of the facility. Good signage of court #s, restrooms, etc. Spectator seating is…read moreample. Downtime options are also good as there are overhead places to go for concessions and seating and watching other games. Good options for concessions. Facility is clean. Parking layout isn't great. Feels like more green space than parking. Also, the windows seem nice until the sun sets and then it gets in the players, refs, and spectators' eyes. There should be some kind of electric shade for that.

Then 'Amber' demanded payment in contrast to what the "program administrator" said. Shortly after the coach cut my child, stating it wasn't about money.

Watercrest is a really nice park in NW Ankeny on NW 5th St. The park has a bunch of different…read morethings to do. There is a basketball court with adjustable hoops, a bathroom and a shelter. The park also has a big field used for kids sports including soccer and football. The nice part about the field is that there is a walking/bike path that goes around it. The park has two playground areas, one for younger kids and one for older kids. The younger kid side has swings and a play area with smaller slides. The older kids area has lots of things for the bigger kids to climb and play on. All in all it is a good family park.

Decided itself has enough tables and chairs for probably seating fifty to seventy five people comfortably. I would recommend getting your weight question as early as possible.

A hidden gem in Des Moines?…read more We think so. We have ridden by here a lot on our bikes following the Neal Smith bike trail, which is another gem of the Des Moines area! It goes right by on the levy and you can see this park just off to the northwest. We have also been here for several concerts as part of the river view concert series that are hosted by the City of Des Moines and parks and recreation systems. They host a fantastic and safe party. Please keep doing this!!! They bring in vendors and food trucks to provide food and refreshments for the attendees. They are parked right of the sidewalk and easily accessible without being in the way! Whether or not there is something happening on the stage, the place is perfect to enjoy with kids of all ages. The park equipment is all newly installed, Ada compliant and have historical themes, based on the rides that used to be here when this was an amusement park. The place is great, check it out and check out my pictures!

Memorable park with the famous ROCKET SLIDE!…read more It's a fun playground because it has a unique structure that is considered vintage. Made of metal. The slides are plastic. During COVID19 review: Came out here with some moms for a play date. Rocket playground was open as well as the north playground. Wading pool was NOT operating. Didn't see anyone using the restrooms or the drinking fountain. A few park benches around to sit and picnic at. Grass was very tall but landscapers were working on mowing. Well maintained with no tree debris. We've been to this park before and it's a popular place to come. But during COVID19 there is way less people around. 3 other families and 1 small day care of 4 kids were there with our group. Made for around 20-25 children playing around each other. Would recommend if you're in the neighborhood.

This park is pretty alright. The playground is a naturescape arrangement, and there's a large…read morewater fountain too. There's a mini suspension bridge, tiny tunnels, a sand pit, rocks to climb, good trails for scooters and skateboards, a covered picnic shelter and relatively clean bathrooms. The only thing I wasn't so stoked about was that in order to get to the swing set, you have to walk a different sidewalk that is parallel to Douglas. That could create a problem if you've got multiple kids and have to keep an eye on all of them.
