Sayers Park

Recreation Spot

At 4.1 acres, Sayers Park in Des Moines, Iowa is one of those just-right sized parks that has a bit of everything without feeling overwhelming.

During those sticky Iowa summer days, the wading pool becomes a magnet for local kids looking to splash around and cool off. Right beside it, you can find a playground where little ones can burn off energy climbing, swinging, and making the kind of memories that only seem to happen at neighborhood parks.

If you're into sports, you don't have to look far. The park houses both basketball and tennis courts where you can shoot some hoops or practice your serve without having to venture far from home.

What You'll Find

The park offers plenty of open green space - well-suited for throwing a frisbee, having an impromptu soccer match, or just sprawling out on a blanket with a good book.

Planning to spend the day? The picnic areas come equipped with tables and benches where you can enjoy lunch outdoors. There are even charcoal grills available if you're in the mood for some freshly grilled hot dogs or burgers - making this spot ideal for family get-togethers or casual hangouts with friends.

Practical Stuff

No need to plan your visit around bathroom breaks - Sayers Park includes restrooms and a drinking fountain to keep you comfortable during your stay. And don't worry about circling the block looking for somewhere to park; the park offers off-street parking so you can easily access all its amenities.
