Reviews
The Riverwalk Dog Park is one of the best dog parks to take your dog to that is part of the city pass system. It definitely is worth the ?. I take my dog to this park regularly and she loves it. It is not separated like the other parks and so little dogs and big dogs play together, but there is usually a good group of both. There is also an obstacle course and long grass and short grass area. Definitely worth it!
Clean space, lots of room to roam with or without socializing with other dogs! Area is not segregated by dog size, one large open space.
Some dog agility equipment (tunnel, adjustable gate, ramp, hoops, etc.), picnic tables, shade and sun. 1 portapotty, water fountain with dog bowl fountain, compostable bags and composting disposal. Secure 6 foot tall fencing with multiple entrances and new parking added at South end. Must purchase dog license and dog park pass from the city to get access code. Access works at multiple Des Moines dog parks for the calendar year.
It would have been nice to know that you had to sign up to get into the park. Des Moines didn’t mention it on the map. We’re travelers and we were there on Sunday. We could not get a permit. Other than that it looked like a nice park I wish we could have visited.
Went there with our French Bulldog and permit in hand to find a locked gate. Unbelievable… What’s the deal Des MoinesNULL I bought this pass so we could enjoy a dog park and a locked gate is what we found. I would give zero star if I could…
I travel all around the country and have only recently encountered these locked dog parks, that you have to register for to get in. It is really a terrible experience for people from out of town. It will ensure that when I travel, I will not be bringing my business to these areas. I understand if people in the community want to have their own space, but 1) it should be advertised better on Google and other Map apps, and 2) It was literally empty when I went. I could have paid a daily fee to enjoy it without bothering anyone.
