Jay Spence Shelter House

The indoor shelter was nice and clean. It has plenty of outlets and they even provide you with cleaning supplies. A staff member is constantly checking the restrooms and taking the trash. Kids loved the splash water 💦 all is close by, the shelter restroomsand play area. Kids were playing while parents sat around and enjoyed the food and company.

What a nice facility. Had a baby shower and it was perfect. Would be great for so many functions. The splash pad and playground are very close and the restrooms are attached to the bldg with a separate entrance. It was very clean, well maintained and reasonably priced.

Update. I liked this location much I rented it for my retirement open house. Perfect with the playground and splash pad. It was a beautiful place to celebrate my retirement!

This is a nice facility. It has attached heated restrooms, electrical outlets, a small sink, and limited counter space. Plenty of tables and chairs. It's rated for 35 person capacity. Handicap accessible. Grill, picnic tables, and playground outside. Very nice for an enclosed shelter in a park.

Great facility and the splash pad is wonderful.

Gorgeous Des Moines family park setting. Great playground. Thoughtfully placed civic art.

Very nice facility. Works for many different events.

Nice place for a family gathering.
