Just east of Des Moines a mere five miles lies one of Iowa's youngest major parks-- Yellow Banks Park. The park boasts rare loess soil bluffs and a rich Native American Heritage. Destroyed by the railway in the 1800s were a large cave and Paleo Indian burial ground. Recently Polk County has set out to redevelop the park in an effort to preserve this historical area. The park is a 517-acre oasis featuring a pond, campground, picnic areas, trails, ball fields and play areas. The pond is located to the rear of the park, making it quiet and secluded but also a challenge to get to for some. But it's worth the trip. The campgrounds are also unique in that they are on a first come-first serve basis. The summer may be on the down-ward climb, but there is always time to discover this unique park.
