Those of us lucky enough to live near parks, open spaces, and greenways know the joys they bring: the calming views of trees and green lawns, the fresh air, and the laughter of children playing.
Benefits of parks include:
Parks, greenways, and trails enable and encourage people to exercise.
Exposure to nature improves psychological and social health.
Play is critical for child development.
Parks help build healthy, stable communities.
Urbandale offers many beautiful parks and outdoor recreational opportunities around almost every corner! We invite you to get out and enjoy your local parks.
