Altoona Recreation
Altoona has more than 17 miles of scenic trails. These trails offer alternate modes of transportation, as many routes lead to community businesses, attractions, city buildings and parks. The City of Altoona trails range from six-foot to 10-foot wide, and are mostly asphalt. The trails system also connects with the Four Mile Trail that runs to Pleasant Hill and then into the Des Moines trails system. The Sam Wise Complex is a 68-acre athletic complex that features softball, baseball and soccer fields. A skate park features metal rails and various obstacles. Residents also take advantage of The Campus — a city owned 73,00 square foot recreational facility that offers a whirlpool/spa, a two-court gymnasium, treadmills, a weight room, cardio equipment, racquetball courts, youth facilities and a 25-yard, six-lane swimming pool.
