We are thrilled to have you here! Walker Johnston Park provides the City of Urbandale and surrounding communities with a variety of active and passive recreation choices. Portions of the park show signs of aging, making it an ideal time to gather community input on which features should be preserved, renovated, removed or added. Walker Johnston Park is a gathering space within our community, and we want to use this opportunity to reimagine the park so it can be a favorite destination for generations to come.

This platform is dedicated to gathering your feedback and fostering meaningful discussions about how we can design, enhance, and preserve this important regional park. Whether you have suggestions for new amenities, thoughts about accessibility, or ideas for environmental sustainability, we want to hear from you.

The “Reimagine Walker Johnston Park!” project will take a comprehensive look at the park and all it has to offer the community, but it does so with the understanding there are several beloved amenities that should remain, including the following:

• Pickle Ball
• Tennis Courts
• Giovannetti Community Shelter
• Tree House Structure
• Fishing Pier
• Creek Access and Outdoor Classroom
• Trail Access
• Updated restroom facilities are anticipated to be part of the enhancements at the park.*

Together, we can make a difference. Welcome aboard!
