The Prairie Meadows Riviera Stage at Riverview Park

With its opening in 1915 Riverview Park was a source of great memories for the people of Des Moines. In 2021, after many years of little use, the Parks Area Foundation has led the charge to re-dedicate the park as a cultural destination for Des Moines, and the midwest.  

The renovated park is now home to the a playground for children of all abilities, provided for by Variety - the Children's Charity and the magnificent Prairie Meadows Riviera Amphitheater which can hold crowds of 10,000 or more.  

Through a partnership with the City of Des Moines, the Parks Area Foundation operates the stage, and invests revenue into the revitalization of the surrounding neighborhoods. To request more information about booking the stage, visit here.
