Maple Grove Park

Trails for Days

Maple Grove Park features a sprawling 52-mile loop trail that's perfect whether you're in the mood for a leisurely stroll, an invigorating jog, or a bike ride. It's one of those places where you can truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle, breathe in some fresh air, and just enjoy being surrounded by nature.

Get Your Game On

If you're the active type, you'll find various sports facilities here. The tennis court has been cleverly updated to include pickleball lines too - because let's face it, pickleball is having a moment right now, and for good reason!

Baseball fans haven't been forgotten either. There's a backstop available for casual practice sessions, and a well-kept baseball diamond that's ready for your next pickup game.

Kid-Friendly Fun

The large playground is a definite highlight, especially for families living near the local schools. It's well-maintained and offers plenty of equipment to keep kids of all ages entertained and active. Kids seem to really enjoy the space.

Everything You Need

Getting to the park is hassle-free thanks to the convenient parking lot. Planning a family picnic or gathering with friends? The covered picnic shelter with tables is situated near the restrooms, making it practical for longer visits.

Speaking of restrooms, the ones here are maintained by the City of West Des Moines and are refreshingly clean and accessible - something that's always appreciated but not always guaranteed at public parks.

Year-round, the park comes alive with community events. The West Des Moines Public Library brings its "Traveling Tales in the Park" program here, offering free stories and crafts for little ones on Thursday mornings during certain times of the year.
