Jaycee Park is a 7-acre hidden treasure nestled between the Sun Prairie and Barrington Estates neighborhoods. Known for its lush landscaping and towering canopy of shade trees, it is the perfect local getaway to cool off and enjoy nature during the Iowa summer.

A Community Effort: Established in 1987, this park exists thanks to the dedicated fundraising and volunteer spirit of the West Des Moines Jaycees. We are proud to maintain this space as a tribute to their commitment to our city's families.
