CONFLUENCEDESIGN DRIVERS – WHAT DES MOINES TOLD US

1. Trails and Connections are key to the how you use and how you want to use Birdland

2. All forms of boating – power, quiet (canoe/kayak and rowing) are equally desired at the park

3. Socializing and community activity spaces are part of what has made this park special and needs to remain as part of the fabric of this park.

4. View, experiencing and enjoying the natural characteristics of this park set it apart from other parks in the river, so close to downtown.

5. Explore opportunities for Birdland Dr. and the Birdland Dr. Bridge
