Huston Ridge Park in West Des Moines, Iowa
Huston Ridge Park in West Des Moines, Iowa is a newer but classic neighborhood playground. It is the perfect park if you are in the Jordan Creek area and need to burn some time. My kids love the different ways to climb up and love racing down the double slide of the 5-12-year-old playground. I love that the 2-5-year-old playground is a good size and perfect for little ones who love to climb up and slide down over and over.
This playground has sun shades sails over both of the playgrounds. The sails along with the colors of this playground create a calming environment that I love here.

Located Near Huston Ridge Park
Huston Ridge Park is one of our favorite stops when we need to burn time between appointments near Jordan Creek Mall. We love that it is so close. We also love the neighborhood park, Whisper Point Park, which is less than a mile away. Both quiet parks are a great escape from the hustle and bustle.
