RRVT is a pay-for-use trail, with a daily or yearly fee. It crosses through several small towns on the west and southwest side of the greater Des Moines area; I have included the closest ones to the city. You can see a bit about all of the areas connected, on their website here.

Windfield Park is tucked in a neighborhood, right across from a busy shopping center. The bright green playground equipment has some fun and unique features, like a small climbing tunnel and musical elements. The adaptive swing has a rubberized footing pad beneath it, and there are baby swings as well.
Warrior park is a quiet spot with a few unique features and lots of open field for running. The giant engineered hill is designed for snowing in winter, but perfect for rolling in summer as well.
