Welcome to Lew Clarkson Park located on the banks of Beaver Creek in Johnston, Iowa, a suburb of Des Moines. This park is named for a real estate developer who helped start the Johnston Little League in the 1950's.

The park's official website says 55 acres but the GIS data gives the number below. Thus the exact acreage is unknown.
