Parks & Recreation Boards & Commissions

We provide administrative support and guidance for the following advisory groups:

  • Bicycle Advisory Commission

    This group works to make West Des Moines a more bike-friendly city by advising on new trails, bike lanes, and safety programs for cyclists of all ages.

  • Parks & Recreation Advisory Board

    This board helps shape the future of our local parks. Members give feedback on park designs, new facilities, and the various recreational programs offered to the community.

  • Public Arts Advisory Commission

    This commission focuses on bringing art to our public spaces. They help select and maintain sculptures, murals, and other art projects that make our city unique.
