WAUKEE, Iowa -- A new 66 acre community park and sports complex is being planned for the city of Waukee.

McDonald says a 15,000 square foot all-inclusive playground will be built near the city's Miracle League Park.

He says Apple, Inc., which is building a new data center in Waukee has pledged $1 million to it's $3 million dollar construction cost. McDonald says the Foundation has more than half that money already raised.
