WAUKEE, Iowa – A new park is coming to Waukee, and this one's designed for everybody.
It will feature a Miracle League baseball field and an accessible playground with a soft surface and it will also have an ADA accessible fishing pier.
"This is going to be a 14-acre lake out here, so people are going to be able to go canoeing, kayaking and get out onto the water. They'll be fishing out here," Todd McDonald with the Waukee Betterment Foundation said as he showed plans for the project.
It is planned to be built on land north of Hickman Road next to where crews have already started building Waukee’s second high school.
"The goal is to have this open in the spring of ‘22. The high school, Waukee High School, will be opening in fall of 2021. This will follow in 2022," said McDonald.
According to WHO Channel 13, the Waukee Betterment Foundation has already raised about half the money for the $5.6 million project.
