Grays Lake, located between Fleur Drive and SW 9th Street, is a residential and park-centered Des Moines neighborhood with a lakeside trail loop and skyline views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at Gray’s Lake Park’s main entrance off Fleur Drive, where runners, cyclists, and picnic groups circulate around the water. The Meredith Trail and Kruidenier Trail stitch the shoreline to downtown paths, shaping an outdoors-forward daily rhythm. Low-rise apartments and newer townhomes sit alongside older South-of-Downtown blocks, keeping the streetscape varied. Water Works Park and the Raccoon River edge add wide-open green space and seasonal events. Gray’s Lake Bridge and the Lauridsen Skatepark read as the area’s signature landmarks.
