Gray’s Lake Park
Pedestrian Bridge Plaque

Connecting the trail on the south edge of the Gray's Lake is a 1/4 mile pedestrian bridge, the only one of its kind in the Midwest. The bridge is lit and visible from Fleur Drive...a powerful message that Des Moines is an attractive and welcoming place to live and do business.

Along the railing of the pedestrian bridge, individual bridge plaque sponsors are recognized with a plaque bearing their name, company name, friends’, or loved ones’ names. A minimum $100 donation entitles you to a plaque. Each plaque is a brushed-aluminum rectangle measuring 4 x 2 1/3 inches. Sponsors may include up to two lines of text with 17 characters each, including spaces, for a total of 34 characters per plaque. An additional line at the top of a plaque, reading “In Memory of,” may be added upon request at no charge.

Make your mark on Gray’s Lake Park and purchase a pedestrian bridge plaque. Or, gift that hard-to-buy-for friend or family member on a landmark occasion/ holiday. These plaques are a permanent and impressive memorial of the community’s support for the restoration of Gray’s Lake Park.

Complete the bridge plaque form with the text exactly as you would like it to appear on the Gray’s Lake Park pedestrian bridge. Return the form along with your check written for a minimum of $100 and payable to the Greater Des Moines Community Foundation, 1915 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50309. Your donation is tax deductible.
