Terry Visits Parks in Adel, Iowa

I love Iowa summers. Each year I dust off my picnic basket, grab my trusty plaid blanket, and head out in search of the perfect shade tree.

Adel is home to nice parks. I started the season at Island Park for a little fishing. I’m not very good at it but I’m very good at relaxing. I checked out the historic bridge that spans over the dam, it’s a view worth seeing!

I also spent an evening at the Kinnick-Feller Park and Adel Municipal Pool. The park is a fun place to plan a get together with a few gazebos and lots of equipment for the kids.

There is a waterway entry point for the brave interested canoeing or kayaking. Personally, I prefer the chlorinated waters of the pool, it’s a great way to spend a summer night in Adel.

Once the rain stopped I got to enjoy an afternoon with family and friends at Evans Park. The kids got to play on the new slides and swings while the adults relaxed in the sun. We finished the day with a game of volleyball. Next time I’ll bring my Frisbee golf discs and try out the new course.

So grab your sunscreen, head outside, and enjoy another Iowa summer in Adel, Iowa!
