This park is 15 minutes from my house and I’m so grateful it’s the best thing to happen to the Des Moines skaters ever

I live around des Moines too

So proud to say my home state of Iowa now has the largest skatepark in the United States! That park is epic!

Thanks for a thorough view of pretty much everything in the park - especially that last pool, which most people have only shown for a second or two. That park is probably gonna get graffiti'd all to hell, so it's cool to see it all clean and pristine. Well done!

Like a 5 minute bus ride and a 10 minute walk. I absolutely love this place going there every day.

I wish Minnesota could get something like this!!! Great video Trog

Love all the stairs, no good park is complete without stairs 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 Great video Trog! 🤘🏻 can’t wait to see you throwing down in the next one!!!

Great review and loved the video. Thanks for stopping down!

Thing to note after skating this for the last year plus. 1. That’s a rounded top not a flat bar. 2. Ground unless it’s just rained can be very dusty and will cake your grip tape on occasions. 3.coping is fairly good not super recessed for good lock in on transition tricks. 4. The wow sign is skate able but definitely extreme transitions. 5. The park is fairly clean on a regular basis. 6. Bathrooms are decent as well. 7. All transitions are very smooth 8. Night riding at night during the summer are usually packed 9. It’s typically more windy bc of the location near the river but also makes it cooler. 10. It’s amazing. Cardio for days :)

see you there this spring

Been there once and it’s by far the best skate park I’ve ever been to

I’m an Iowa native. This park is a 3 hour drive from me. I plan on making a trip this summer (2024)

So worth it

First off, the red metal skate art looks cool and all and I'd be willing to give it a try but it is narrow and can be quite hazardous. Then long ledges next to it are great but being so close to the metal skate art will all it's exposed hard edges I can see a few skaters very probably bailing off the ledges and hitting their heads or bodies against those many hard metal red edges. The skate art should be further away from any other skate obstacles to not be a hazard. To me given how narrow and strangely shaped it is I feel that it is more of a novelty obstacle that will only be skated a little than alot. Sort of like a carnival game that is fun to give it a go just to see how it is then move on to the next thing. We are having skate park meetings in my town and I will totally recommend watching these videos for design ideas but we will omit all the unnecessary ones to not waste money time and effort.

I just went here today it’s such a nice skatepark

That park looks sick jealous

I live near this park and drive past it often, it doesn't look that big until you walk down it, it's long really long

that park is packed with obstacles, yeah!

Personally for me it's a 9 of 10. Its truly a masterpiece. My only quarrel is the big jump in the bowl and it's not 24 hours but I understand that case. Have fun

U got Mike V living 15 minutes away also so should be regular sightings..

Holy sheit

This seems like a pretty good skate park. I live in Grimes, but I think I'll go and see this. I don't skateboard anymore, but it would be fun to watch. I wonder why this place is in Des Moines. I would think a city like Los Angeles would be better. It has more people and you can skateboard all year round. I wonder how long this place will be around.

*goes to iowa immediately*

On the last bowl I fell all the way down on the tallest part and it’s way bigger then it looka

That skate park ot five minutes away from my house
