About the Location

Neighborhood Retreat

Right next to Hubbell Avenue, Easttown Park offers a leafy sanctuary for locals. This modest but charming green space has become the go-to spot for nearby residents looking to unwind or play. There's something genuinely calming about the shade-dappled grounds that makes you want to take a deep breath and slow down for a while.

Play and Recreation

Kids light up when they see the playground area, complete with slides and swings that keep the little ones entertained. While the equipment might not be the newest on the block (and could use some updates, if we're being honest), it still brings plenty of smiles and laughter for younger children.

Need to cool off? Teachout Pool sits right next to the park, making this a wonderful summer hangout. You can easily spend a full day here transitioning from playground adventures to poolside relaxation when the Iowa heat kicks in.

What You'll Find

The picnic areas offer just the right setting for family get-togethers or casual lunches. These spots come with an unexpected bonus - good sightlines to the baseball fields, so you can keep an eye on the game while enjoying your sandwich.

Restrooms are available behind the baseball fields, though it's worth noting they're a short walk away and sometimes closed during the colder months. A quick check before settling in for the day might save you some trouble later.

The Heart of the Community

What Easttown Park lacks in size, it makes up for in accessibility. It's become a neighborhood fixture where generations come together - grandparents frequently bring grandchildren to explore and play in this green space.

The park isn't flashy or overwhelming. It's simply a pleasant patch of green in the neighborhood. For the surrounding Des Moines community, it adds a touch of nature to everyday life.
