FORE! Our Parks! Best-Ball Golf Tournament & Bike Ride
Fri, June 16 | Waveland Golf Course
Join us for the 10th Annual FORE! Our Parks golf outing and bike ride at Waveland Golf Course. Learn about Des Moines’ parks while supporting the economic, environmental, health and recreational benefits they provide central Iowans.
Each year we strive to support the Des Moines Parks and Recreation in the best way possible. Throughout the years the Friends of Des Moines Parks has contributed almost two million dollars in support of park projects. The funding has helped thousands of children learn how to swim, built playgrounds and nature trails, purchased E911 Trail markers, as well as assisting with recreation programs/special events.
"Growing up in Des Moines and now raising my own kids here, I understand first-hand how vital our city’s parks system is to not only keeping families like mine entertained, but also attracting new people to the area. Our foursome looks forward to playing in the Des Moines Parks’ annual golf outing each year as it is the perfect way to support our parks system while also having a blast with great people at a top-notch golf course. Can’t wait to play again this year!"

For me, it wouldn't be summer without the "Friends of the DM Parks" bike/golf event at Waveland Golf Course each June. It is something I look forward to you each year and participate with my friends.
