Hawkeye Park

Arguably the best public park in all of the Metro. Where I spent my childhood. Volleyball and tennis courts, a few baseball fields, a few playgrounds, a nice walking path, a fishing lake, a couple of shelters, an amphitheater, lots of shade, well maintained, and lots of benches. Quite lively in the summer. Lighted at night. Conjoins a middle school, elementary school, the fire station, and Ankeny’s city hall. Reasonably close to eating outlets and so much more.

Beautiful spot with lots of ducks and geese. So sad that so many birds there get caught in fishing wire, hooks and nets left by careless people.

Nice little park in Ankeny. People need to learn to pick up after themselves. Nice area and the pond is a great touch. The trash however was everywhere and lot of stuff in the water. The fishing was not bad. Got a small white crappie and a bass. Battle spin and a hula popper. Fun day.
