Saturday, 9/13
At 11 a.m., there will be a brief program near the Hickory Shelter and a ribbon-cutting with the Ames Kiwanis to celebrate a new fire department-themed playground.

A well-loved and popular destination, Brookside Park, 1325 Sixth Street, has delighted Ames residents and visitors for the past century. Nestled between Downtown Ames and Iowa State University, the 82-acre park is a notable example of our long-standing town-and-gown collaboration.
