We first saw Cowles Commons when driving by. We knew we had to make a stop on our short trip to Des Moines. We walked from El Bait Shop and are so glad we did. The water fountain was fun to cool off on a 90 degree day! And there was FREE ice cream! And the artwork. Such a great place!
MoreA great city park space that has a water feature that attracts kids and adults alike to run through the fountains, gardens, open space for community events, with art installations that rotate in and out throughout the year.
