This holiday season, we’re celebrating our park system’s special role in enriching the Des Moines community. Through Parks Are For Everyone, your generosity helps fuel year-round park experiences and opportunities for recreation, creating a happier and more vibrant community for all. We have a year-end goal of $30,000 and would love your support!
The Voices of Des Moines Parks
Tyler Weig
"Des Moines’ parks and trails have shaped my daily life, my routines, and my sense of community—and they’ve been a meaningful part of what makes this city feel like home."
Laura Rhemer
"We’re really lucky here in Des Moines to have amazing parks and trails that are so well cared for, supported, and updated. As a parent, that consistent quality has been the most valuable thing for us."
Michael Zimmerman
"I really believe that the opportunity to be in nature and to find adventure in the everyday is the best thing that the trails can offer."
Margaret Wright
"The investment that was made in the courts here at Evelyn K. Davis has brought children back to the park and has provided a safe place to be."
Help us reach our goal of $30,000 raised by the end of the year!
Gifts of any size make a difference.
