Western Gateway Park occupies 13 acres and is suitably deemed by locals as the "heart of Downtown Des Moines". This park between Grand and Locust, and stretching from 10th to 15th street, is not only home to the Temple Chess Garden, lush green areas and many trees. You can also find several private areas to relax and enjoy your time. Public space is also available in which you can meet and interact with other people. Expect some of these locals to actually live on this 13 acres, at the Arlington-Mallet Apartments! If you fancy the arts, you can visit the Temple for the Performing Arts, or you may love to visit the Pappajohn Higher Education Center and Sculpture Park. If you're just in the mood to take some time to relax, whether publicly or privately, you can do so at the Central Library. Or perhaps enjoy your new find from the library outdoors by the Runnel Water Feature. Once you visit this park, you will see that the new, modern development mixes beautifully with old buildings that bring so much history to the area. Together, this integration has inspired and will continue to define Downtown Des Moines.
