The parks awesome got every thing you need by city standards

Brett Elliott

My kids love it here. The splash pad is always a big hit. There's not much shade around the splash pad and kids do a good job of experimenting with the water pressure to soak adults sitting on the benches, so just bring sunscreen and expect to get wet if you're anywhere near it. The playground is nice too. The bathrooms are serviceable and I've always found them to be cleaner than most public parks. Overall, we've always had good experiences here.

Amy Brandt

This is a beautiful, clean park with a good variety of unique playground equipment for a wide age range of children. It also has a splash pad in the summer, bathrooms and a large shelter area with several picnic tables and a charcoal grill.

Nice park. Great for the kiddos.

Nick Asjes

A playground, water feature, softball field, basketball hoops and tennis court manage to share space with a parking lot and bathrooms without feeling cramped at all. In fact, this is one of the most pleasant open community spaces in Des Moines in spite of its small size. I love walking over from 5th Street to eat lunch in the shade of one of the many venerable old trees, enjoying the sun and relaxing in the well-kept grass. Treat yourself to some quiet time in one of the hidden gems of Valley Junction.

Kevin Halfpop

Enjoyable park. The playground equipment is very different from other playgrounds around Des Moines. Kids love using the main playground as an obstacle course! There is a mid size splash pad.

Excellent Splash pad for tons of summer fun! Also nice picnic shelter! Minus one star for bathrooms torn up.

Hannah Lang

This is one of our favorite parks. Great for elementary age kids, not much for young small children. The spray ground is great for all ages in the summer.

jeff hall

Well maintained.

Andra Kitt

The tennis courts could be updated. There is a space that used to be a skate park, but it's just sidewalk with holes and grass now. There is not enough parking if there's a game at the ball field. The park and splashpad are nice though

Max Scott

This is a fun park with great things for kids to climb on. They also have free lunch here in the summer. The splash pad is nice as well

Cathleen Phillips

Nicely planned little neighborhood park. Very nice toddler water area and garden. Nicely shaded.

Legion Park is my favorite neighborhood park since I was a little girl. Equipment is always in good repair and updated frequently.

Stacy Grenell

Love this park! The play equipment is great for all abilities and the splash pad is Fantastic!

Mary Elliott

Waters doesn't turn in until 11. There isn't much shade. The playground is fun but better for older kids. The water button has to be constantly pressed to keep the water on. On weekends the parking gets filled up fast No wading pool so you don't have to worry about drowning. Nice picnic area. Bathrooms are available!

F Sims

Fun place for the kids

James White

An excellent local park, with a variety of playground structures, sporting areas, and even a splash pool. It's well-tended, and with respectful patrons.

Bri H

The splashground and playground are wonderful. Also, there is a nice shelter good for having lunch. That being said, there are two main problems with this park. First, there is little to no snow removal, so we were unable to use it most of the winter. Second, frequently parents let unruly older children run around on the preschool playground which makes it dangerous for the little kids.

crystal Barber

The little splash pad is the only reason we go. The actual park is not that fun. There isnt much to do. My son gets bored. The park is more for looks than play.
