Polk County- Bondurant, Iowa Freedom Rock
Tourist attraction
👍👍 We have seen almost half the Freedom Rocks so far. This one doesn't disappoint either. This site is kept very well and is a great tribute to those that have given their lives and others that have sacrificed for all of us. I always think back over a 35 year career to those I have served with and...

Paragon Prairie Tower
Historical landmark
👍👍 “Prairie Tower” is the largest Italian glass mosaic tile mural in the United States, and pays homage to the history of the native Iowa prairie. A double repeating pattern of native plants in a stylized deco landscape of field and sky serves as the image for the “Paragon Prairie Tower.” The main elem...

Rotary Riverwalk Park
Park
😐 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 n...

Kuehn Conservation Area
Park
👍👍 I love Kuehn. Great for birding, less trafficked than other more known parks in the area - especially when you hit the trails. Several miles of trails through woods, prairie, and along the river. Several hike in camping sites available.

Izaak Walton League Park
Park
😐 It seems like a good park for people who like to shoot. For someone that enjoys nature and trails, this isn't the best park in the area for it. When I visited, it wasn't quiet, as the sound of gunshotd was constant. When I took a trail by the lake, I crossed over a low, halfway fallen bridge in need...

👍👍 Very good for a county museum. You don’t expect to see this level of museum in a town with only 3000 people! Good art collection and great library. Historic buildings are a nice touch.
