Scenic Valley Park in West Des Moines, Iowa
Scenic Valley Park was newly renovated in the Spring of 2023. This playground has two inviting main structures. The tall tower invites kids to climb, slide, and use their imagination. It instantly became a clubhouse for my kids and their friends. The kids loved climbing through, over, and discovering the secret areas of the 2-5-year-old geometric circuit structure. My kids loved climbing on the turf hills, running around, and playing gaga ball.
