Awesome park. 4 stars due to only porta potty bathroom and little shade. There is a covered area…read morewith 4 picnic tables, trash and a grill. Also a water fountain for humans and pets. There is a small basketball court with 2 hoops at different heights. The play areas are very cool. The pirate ship is an awesome feature. It even has a "kid powered" music feature that I have not seen before AND a plank that bounces. Behind this is an island style playarea. Lots of slides, climbing features and a couple bridges. The ground is the springy kind and there are various fake boulders and other stand alone climbing features. Behind the play area are little hills to run around on and probably good sledding come winter months.

My daughter loves this park! The playground is great and for all ages. There is also a small…read morecovered shelter with about 4 picnic tables and a basketball court. The park sit on a lot of land so the area is also good for flying a kite or kicking a soccer ball around. My daughter loves to run up and down the big hills.

Plenty of parking. Great walk around the lake. Good for dog walking. Marcydiner tantrum scale of 5/5-no screaming kids. We have also seen people fishing here, although we haven't tried it yet. We used to come here frequently, not so much now that the kids are older.

This is a fun park to take my 3 kiddos to, they have several swings and although it looks like a…read moresmaller playground, there's lots to do on it! We also walk/ bike around the lake. Shady areas and picnic tables are around as well.

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.

This is a very nice park in Ankeny with newer play equipment. There are two ponds at the park with…read morewalking trails going around both ponds. There are also two play areas one for bigger kids and one for smaller kids. The two play areas are right next to each other and both feature fun play areas that differ from most standard parks. The reason I took a star off was because there is ZERO parking. There is a dirt spot on four mile that can maybe fit two cars but other then that there is not any parking. Basically the only access to the park is to live in the community and walk to it. It's not very accessible for people who don't live in the area around the park.

The city of Ankeny has tons of parks. This is a good neighborhood park but not one of the best in…read morethe city. The park is in the shape of a U with a tree'd grove and creek and in the middle. On one side of the U is a kids play area with swing set. The play area is really nice and my little guy had a lot of fun playing on it. On the other end of the U is a one hoop basketball court and a picnic shelter. There is a bike/walking trail that goes through the park and connects with the neighboring community. There is no parking lot for the park and you need to park on the street.

We've been taking our dog Otis to Unleashed Pets since last November, and we truly couldn't be…read morehappier. The facility is incredibly clean--it's obvious that cleanliness is a top priority, and they're constantly keeping everything in great condition. Otis has struggled with separation anxiety, but by his third day at daycare, everything changed. Now he gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot and doesn't even look back at drop-off. That alone says everything about how comfortable and happy he is there. He comes home completely worn out from playing all day, which we love. We actually drive 25 minutes out of the way just to bring him here, and it is worth every single minute. I visited almost every daycare in town before choosing Unleashed Pets, and I can confidently say this is the best one. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place they can truly trust with their dog.

The facility is impressive! It is spotless, and there are no smells. Our Golden puppy loves it here, and would open the door by herself if she could. As a dog parent you have lots of options, but Unleashed Pets is worth a visit.

This place is real spacious and ample easy parking for a quick stop. I have come here multiple…read moretimes with my family while traveling so the littles can get out, eat and run off some energy. It has always been very clean with places to throw trash as well as a mobile "potty". i have only been in i think half of this park so i do not know if there is a built in bathroom or not. Its an easy spot to get off the highway and decompress before getting back on the road. Thank you Des Moines!
