The design approach to Valley View Park is unique from other parks in the City of West Des Moines in that it seeks to organize passive and active recreation elements based on prioritizing existing and restored ecological features of the land. 

Through restored native plantings and ecological stormwater management systems, the park design strives to balance environmental health with human activity while meeting the recreation needs of the community and serving as a model for sustainable land development.
