Raising Kids in DSM

I love DSM for its hometown charm and big city feel.

In his spare time, Mak enjoys being outside, specifically at Gray’s Lake Park in Downtown Des Moines (DSM). The park consists of a two-mile trail that circles the body of water perfect for walking, running or biking. During the summer months, canoes, kayaks, pedal boats and paddleboards are available to rent. In addition to being a great location for outdoor recreation, Gray’s Lake also offers nearby residential options and a variety of restaurants. 

Mak’s favorite place to grab some food in Des Moines in TNT Vietnamese Restaurant. This local favorite serves up fresh and authentic Asian cuisine. 

When he’s not at Gray’s Lake or at his favorite restaurant, you may find Mak enjoying the businesses at Valley Junction in West Des Moines. This historic district is home to a variety of locally owned shops and restaurants and even has its own farmers’ market! 

You can also ask Mak about DSM neighborhoods, tattoo shops, local gems, working in the nonprofit sector and his experience growing up in the region!
