About Riverwalk Dog Park
Nestled along the riverside, Riverwalk Dog Park is a spacious three-acre haven for local pups and their owners. This permit-only park features a large open area where dogs of all sizes can romp and socialize freely, although it lacks designated small and large dog sections. Agility equipment like tunnels and ramps add to the fun, while benches and trees provide plenty of shade for those looking to relax.
While access requires a dog license and a park pass, regular visitors appreciate the cleanliness and well-maintained facilities, complete with water fountains for both dogs and humans. Parking is newly available at the south end, making it convenient for frequent visits. However, the setup can be frustrating for travelers, as the locked gates restrict access unless you’ve registered beforehand.
Despite some complaints about access issues, many locals swear by this park as one of the best in Des Moines for daily adventures. The combination of grassy areas, shady spots, and social atmosphere makes it a popular spot for canine playdates. Just remember to bring your own water, as well as a poop bag, though they are available around the park.
