      Dog-Friendly Asian Gardens

      We visited while staying in Des Moines during our road trip with 2 dogs in April. It was smaller than expected but still an interesting place to check out. It's right next to the river. Several pieces of art that were neat to see and they have historical information listed around the park.

      Small but cute

      Right next to the river. It is a nice display of a different culture.
