Loved it!! Great place to take kids of all ages from the swings to slides to rock wall to climb.

Its a nice quiet park with a large field, swings and equipment. My 4 and 7 year old enjoy the slides and climbing equipment. I like that in the afternoon the benches around the equipment are shaded. There are several uncovered picnic tables and grills and one converted area. Theres alsoa large grassy field and a dedicated parking lot as well as street parking. There are portable toilets and drinking fountain for people and dogs which is a big plus. Meet several people with kids who were nice. Lots of joggers with dogs. No graffiti or vandalism. Trash was well maintained. Small, nice place, will visit again.

Beautiful this time of year

First time taking the kids here. Plenty of wide open spaces to fly a kite without crashing it into trees or power lines. Throw a ball a long ways or even hit baseballs and golf balls. There is a nice covered area with tables so you can have a picnic without having to be directly in the sun. There is a bbq grill. The playground has swings for kids and infants. It is right off the bike trail so it was easy to get to. Would highly recommend this park.

Could use a legit bathroom but its got lots of room to run around and a decent playground with swings. No water fountain either.

Nice little park, has a gazebo and doggie water fountain.

Decent park. clean and friendly atmosphere.

Nice small neighborhood park with playground and a small shelter area.

Great park for kids, also theres a large open space for frisbee, football, or whatever else you need large open space of grass. Didnt use any of the facilities, but expect theyre likely on par with most other public parks from the looks on the outside. Overall definitely recommend if you live in the area.

Great playground for kids.

Nice little park with mature trees in a cute neighborhood.

Super clean multiple slides for different ages. I love this park because I have four boys 6 and under and they have find something to do separately or together and this facilitates that well. Lots if grass you could easily picnic or run a kickball or tee ball game. Wood chips on playground way better than messy sand. Just moved and my kids love the new go to.

Good park to hangout at.

My boy loves this playground

I liked it very much nice and clean, but smaller than I expected.

Great park. I love that they even have a water bowl at the drinking fountain for dogs. Clean and well maintained equipment.

This is a great park. Very clean and has a water fountain for your furry friends as well. Bring your own doggie bags though.

I have an 18 month old and a 4 year old. Sometimes finding parks that cater to both age groups so 1 person can take 2 kids without having to either split their play time or my attention.

Nothing like a peaceful shaded park equipped with drinking fountains and restrooms on a hot day.

Riley Park is small and comfy. Playground -gazeboo with grill and picnic table -open air double grill with picnic tables. Wonderful playground and open space for sports practice. Port a Potty for restrooms and great parking. remember -Des Moines has 31 city parks. In July has a contest offered through Des Moines Park and Recreation. Visit 31 parks in 31 days to be entered into a drawing

Clean and a nice gazebo

There were children there

A great place to enjoy!

This park is great. My son loves all the slides!

Thank God for parks, Good location, safe and the neighborhood that makes it inviting

Nice neighborhood park.

Clean, quiet, enough open space to feel like you can breathe, run and play. First time here, Daughter and I stopped there to have a picnic lunch in the car with the windows down, while out running errands all day. We were the only car there, (other than the park maintenance that stopped by to get the trash), and the only people at the playground. There is enough to do on the playground, but some of it a bit challenging and too high up for my smaller 5 year old. She says it was still pretty awesome.

Nice place to hang out

Nice park for kids big and small

Great place to take the kids and dogs. Cool water fountain for dogs. And a nice playground for kids. Neighborhood is clean and friendly.

No one those snow clean up for the sidewalks or the parking lot

Its a good park, its has a playground for kids and some tables for sitting. Good for a quick walk or to sit down and relax for a bit.

Fun little park, great for taking pictures!

One of our favorites lately! Lots of things for everyone to do.

Nice little Park. More could be done with it.

Really an underrated park!

Its ok, but the park was really, supper small. But its fun. But the park is super small though

Pretty decent neighborhood park, though it wasnt especially clean. Looks like someone hangs out and drinks at night.

Nice little park. Large open space and playground equipment, a nice little shelter too.

Nice little park with a grill AND a gazebo..

Food and service were good

Fun little park

Great place for a birthday party

Clean park with a big open grass area. The grills need replaced but they have bathrooms and water fountains.

I love this park atop a hill off of lovely Urbandale Drive. Full playground, with swingset, a hard pavilion, a picnic table, and plenty of benches.

Best park ever however no running water

Go check it out and have some fun
