Valley View Park

"Nice park! The facilities are nice. Nice shelter and playground. Great neighborhood."

"Best lot courts for night games/activities in the Des moines metro. Basketball, tennis and pickleball courts are lit for night games"

"This is our go-to family friendly park. Easy hikes. Many routes!"

"Good cricket ground but the grass level or pitch not maintained properly"

"Valley View Park, oh what a charming little spot! The basketball courts are so authentic, with just the right amount of cracks and divots to make you feel like you're playing on the streets of New York. The tennis and pickleball courts are a delightful blend of clay and gravel that will make you feel like you're playing in the French Open - if the French Open was held in a construction site. And let's not forget about the sand volleyball courts, which are like a mini desert oasis, complete with a sprinkling of weeds and the occasional tumbleweed. The large fields are perfect for a game of "Find the Needle in the Haystack" and the green space is a wonderful place to lay out a picnic blanket and get cozy with nature. The restrooms... well, let's just say they're a true "experience." You'll never forget the smell and it will stay with you for hours, if not days. And don't worry about finding a toilet seat that's not broken - they're all broken, which adds to the fun. Overall, Valley View Park is a charming little slice of heaven, if you're into rustic, gritty, and adventurous park experiences. 8.4 out of 10, would recommend to anyone who wants to add a little spice to their park routine."
