Morningside Park

Johnston, Iowa

Welcome to Morningside Park in Johnston, Iowa, a suburb of Des Moines. A local girl scout by the name of Sierra Wicks is the reason this park has a "free library."

The park's acreage follows the trail for quite a ways but does not cross over Merle Hay Road.

To contact the Johnston Park office please call 515-727-8091.
