About Rotary Riverwalk Park

Rotary Riverwalk Park is a 1-acre urban riverfront park located along the Des Moines River at the northern end of the Principal Riverwalk (Bobber Park). Opened in November 2014 as a Rotary Club project, this versatile outdoor space offers a distinctive backdrop for community events, concerts, festivals, markets, and private gatherings. There are no dedicated seating charts or formal grandstands; instead, visitors enjoy open green space, a soft playground for families, and limestone seating blocks that encourage a relaxed, flexible setup. We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan a visit or an event, including parking, transit access, and nearby hotel and dining options.

Whether you’re coordinating a community gathering or a casual outdoor performance, Rotary Riverwalk Park is designed to accommodate a variety of outdoor activities with the Des Moines skyline as a backdrop. While parking is limited on-site, ample street parking and nearby lots provide convenient options. Public transit is convenient via downtown DART routes, making this riverfront venue accessible from across the metro. For accommodations and dining, a short stroll puts you within reach of several downtown hotels and a range of restaurants. If you’re looking for reliable arrangements, consider our recommended partner hotels and nearby eateries to enhance your visit.
