Welcome to the Des Moines Legacy Foundation
Des Moines is a community rich in parks and recreation stewardship and history dating back to the early 1900's when citizens donated land for baseball fields (now Des Moines Field House Park). Donations such as land, play equipment, senior center equipment, computers, park maintenance support, plants and trees, athletic equipment, picnic tables, and benches, volunteer labor, and cash have all been integral to improving our quality of life here in Des Moines.
The Des Moines Legacy Foundation is committed to preserving this tradition and expanding youth, adult, and senior parks and recreation opportunities and facilities throughout our community.
