This park is amazing! It has something for everyone! From just walking to even us old folk :-) This park was built for the ability to handle children with special needs and has the space and accessibility to do so. Todays visit was just my youngest daughter and I but we use this park constantly for all three of the kids. Ankeny would not be what it is today without the Miracle Park.

Loved it was easy to chase my 18 month old there up on the play ground equipment. And big enough that you can stay a safe distance from others and nice picnic areas we brought our lunch and ate there.

What a great place for kids. It has a couple separate play areas. One for the older kids and one for the little toddlers. For our experience he loves it here. Always kids around. Bathrooms are clean, soft rubber ground. All around nice place. I like all the seating and bench areas if you are going to have a party here. Looks like they have a couple of concession stands looks like if you contact the city you could use a building for a party. I

This park is one of the biggest I have been to in the Des Moines area. This is a fun park. There are many swings to use. There is a baseball field right next to it too. They have tables in the shade to sit down. They have basketball hoops and a couple other playgrounds on the other side of the fence.

This place was freaking awesome. A friend and I went after getting some food and wanted to do some pokemon go playing, we ended up only doing MAYBE 4 minutes of walking until we decided it was time to play on the playground for hours. We are both over 20 years old, but this was an awesome night.

Amazing park with massive play areas for all childrens age ranges. Almost feels like they could charge to play there. A great hidden gem for free!!

Very nice park for the kids especially for those with handicaps. But no shade on the playground. Parking was ok but one had to walk quit a little distance to get to the sheltered picnic area.

Love it! All 3 kids can be amused 2, 5, and 7 year olds. It is so big it can be hard to keep track of them all though. I always go with extra adults!

When it comes to looking for a wine and spirits, they have it. Excellent selection and great value depending on what youre looking for. Go to their website beforehand and look up what exactly you want. There it will give you ratings and prices.

This park is amazing. Best playground I’ve seen in a public park. Designed to be fun for kids of all abilities. There have been a few times kids were not being supervised well enough, but it’s rare.

This is the best park in ankeny by far. I took my nephews here and i also work for a daycare and we would take several field trips here during the summer. All the kids love it and it’s easy for all of our kids to play on. If you’re in the area i would definitely check out this park!!!

Literally THE best park we have ever been to. Handicap accessible with 2 different play sets, one more for toddlers and one for older kids. Tons of slides and climbing areas, a big boat you can rock in, and lots of swings including a hammock swing. Soft rubber floor covering whole play area. Bathrooms near by, baseball fields, even concessions if theres a ball game going on. During the summers you can also access the schools playground right next door, otherwise its locked up facing the park side. Worth the drive up to Ankeny to visit this park, its AWESOME!

It was such a fun and engaging park, lots to do especially if you have older children. There is an area for toddlers too but does cater more for older kids. I took my 2.5 year old and he had a blast....I did too!

Ti
Review №54

It is a great place for kids to play and to get to know people in the neighborhood. It is designed for accessibility in mind for children so children can be more diversified and accepting of children who are different. It is a very safe place to be.

Review №56

This park is just...wow! The playground itself is huge. I have been told it was designed to accommodate any age or special/physical needs (and I believe it). It has a shelter with picnic tables. There are bathrooms. The playground equipment is big and spread out so keep a close eye on the kiddos. I lost sight of my 4 and 1 year old a few times. The only thing missing is a slash pad.

Its a great place to go with the kids and have fun. Though they do need to make sure all restrooms are unlocked. June 26th around 7:30, 8pm the men and womens restrooms were locked. Thankfully the family restroom was still open.

Unbelievable play area, unique equipment not seen very much. Very busy, but large enough where the risk n of collisions are minimal. Soft rubber mat surrounds and is underneath every piece of equipment, creating an environment that please a child of any age.

Beautiful park that has fishing, tennis, volleyball, baseball, and a huge play ground.Handicap accessible swings and ramps, sensatory (bumpy) slides, lots of musical noise makers.Monkey bars that are lower to the ground so younger kids can practice without being scared of a long fall.Swings that are lower to the ground. The kids can get up on them without assiasance.
