Rotary Riverwalk Park

Rotary Riverwalk Park is a riverside playground in Des Moines situated along the Des Moines River. The facility includes a large bobber-shaped climbing structure, swings, and paved paths that follow the waterway.

The park emerged from the Principal Riverwalk initiative, which transformed the Des Moines riverfront into a space for recreation. This project helped reconnect the community with the river as a gathering place.

The park connects to the Iowa Women of Achievement Bridge, honoring women who shaped the state's development. Walking through the space, you can see how this recognition becomes part of the visitor experience.

The park sits along West River Drive and is open from early morning to late evening each day. Play equipment is designed for accessibility, including specialized swings to accommodate different mobility needs.

The park provides direct access to a notable skateboard facility that welcomes skaters of all levels. This area impresses with its scale and draws visitors from throughout the region.
