Gray’s Lake Park in Des Moines to reopen

DES MOINES — Officials say a popular park near downtown Des Moines that was closed due to flooding will reopen soon.

City officials for Des Moines say Gray’s Lake Park will reopen Friday morning at 5 a.m. Some parts of the park, including the beach and the playground, will remain closed. Officials say volunteers and city staff helped clean up dirt and debris at the park, which has been closed since severe weather with heavy rains affected the area late last month.
