The Heritage Carousel has been a part of Union Park in Des Moines for over 20 years. It is time for some work on the building. We have identified 5 major necessary improvements and repairs to keep the Carousel safe and beautiful for the next generation:
Pavillion Metal Roof Painting with a certified painter and warranty
Soffits replaced
Interior cabinet work
Fence repair and painting
Extensive Carousel animal hand painting touch ups
Please consider making a donation to this campaign so we can keep the Carousel going ‘round for decades to come!
