Rotary Riverwalk Park

Love this area its sick a piece of mind and alot of positive vibes here.

This is a nice walk and a suprisingly pleasent area. Only 3 stars because Des Moines and much of the USA have this weird idea of isolating things rather than complimenting things. This walk and the Asian park are isolated from other things. In my humble opinion, the road the goes along the park near the Botanical center should accommodate businesses and shops. A place to get a bite or a drink and/or some shops. Its essentially a desert.You drive there. You park. You walk. Thats it. There is no place to get a bite or to shop. Typical American desert of a park.

Lots to see. Des Moines is most definitely on the map. Great place to exercise, relax, & site see....

Fun little Park & fun to walk across the bridge! Love the fishing pole & bobber!

This was a very nice park and walking trail.The bridge is spectacular!The Chinese garden is awesome!This is a hidden gem in Des Moines.Wish is was warned to enjoy the park a little longer.

Probably the nicest walk you can have in Des Moines. You can park your car across the bridge and walk on over it and make your way to this park. Here you can walk around it and see different architectural buildings and also different landscaping thats unique in this part of the country. Theres also a biking/running trail alongside the river.

A fairly recent artsy installation on the western bank of the Des Moines River in downtown Des Moines, right next to the western entrance to the iconic Iowa Women of Achievement Bridge. When it first opened, there were a few more swings installed on the fishing pole, but when I visited this time, there was only one lonely swing left. The park is nicely lit at night and adds a more fun element to the river front space in downtown.

Spent a lovely lazy afternoon strolling around beautiful DSM.

Neat views of downtown and bridge is dedicated to women and their achievements!

Its going to be even more fun when construction is done

Just a bridge and a little kids park. Mostly construction

I like the bridge - it is nice to be there at night.

A great place for Plein Air, Painting with the Des Moines Saturday Sketch Club!Another nice start to a work of art!#janecurlart

Great walk around Des Moines. Nice street art and statuary in and around the riverwalk.

Its small, but I think its appeal is more about location, location, location!

Beautiful river walk. Beautiful city

We came down from MN straight to here to watch the sunrise and then to KC, KS. It was absolutely beautiful! (:

Not only is this place beautiful, its clean, has gorgeous views of the Drs Moines skyline, and a wonderful mix of city and nature all in one. Its kid friendly and handicap accessible as well.

Its beautiful at night.Got to see fireworks from Sec Taylor Stadium also.

Very clean, beautiful views, wildlife and plants are respected, the trail is well kept and easily used by both pedestrians and bicyclists.

We fished there and enjoyed the view how pleasant the water sounds.

A beautiful walk around the Des Moines River.

Beautiful, especially at night when its lit up.

Beautiful view of the river and fun place to people watch

Scenic & beautiful and my kids loved the swings!

Very neat design, very peaceful.

Beautiful bridge good lighting at night

A very nice and well-maintained park. Everyone should walk along here a few times on a nice day.

Beautiful river walk. Enjoyed the sound of the city and the river. Very unique Bridge. The fishing bobber is pretty cool.

Awesome park and river walk, only trouble was that it was slightly confusing while under construction, but overall very nice

Another wonderful bridge for Des Moines area

Nice area. Great rest stop when enjoying the city.

Asian garden is pretty. I wouldnt walk there at night or alone.

Pretty nice area to go and walk around at. There was some construction when we went but they still had one side open.

Good place

The park itself is quite small, so dont expect too much in terms of play structures or running area. What do you get are some stunning views and things to explore that are completely unique to Des Moines. Rotary Riverwalk Park is basically a giant sculpture with swings, and its located on the western side of the Iowa Women of Achievement Bridge (a pedestrian bridge). You can walk over the river, and on the other said is the Robert D Ray Asian Gardens with a pagoda. Taken together, this free scenic stop is definitely worth your time in downtown Des Moines.
