My daughter and I braved the warm morning to meet friends to play at a newly opened park in East Des Moines. Its called Sargent Park and its a natural playscape. Lydia loved the tunnels, slide, hollowed out tree, climbing steps, rope bridge, water feature and sand box. There's also a nice, smooth trail that runs behind it and my friends told me its great to bike or jog on. We've been to the natural playscape at Jasper Park and this one is great too! I believe Sargent Park just opened about two weeks ago or less. My only complaint and most summers this probably wouldn't be an issue, but there's really no shade except the sheltered picnic area.
