About This Cartridge

Open to visitors since September 2009, the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park features artwork by 21 of the world’s most celebrated artists.

The 4.4 acre park, located within a major crossroads of the urban grid, creates a pedestrian friendly entranceway to downtown Des Moines. This accessible setting, coupled with the skilled landscape design and caliber of the art, makes it unlike any other sculpture park in the United States. The Pappajohns’ contribution of 27 works for the park is the most significant donation of artwork ever made to the Des Moines Art Center.

This wherigo tour will take you through Sculpture Park and the final is located outside the park. Enjoy your tour.

The cartridge ran well and the location was fun. The only problem is in finding the geocache final. As soon as I got close to the final, the verification code came up and I lost the final coordinates to the geocache. After that I was unable to find the final.

Our very first Wherigo, very fun, thank you! Still haven't figured out what the completion code is for yet?

Our first Iowa Wherigo! Run on a Garmin Oregon 450. No problems occurred although we saved it when we could.

It was a warm and muggy day and we were perspiring by the end of the cartridge. We didn't enjoy the walk to the final as we were not sure how to get to it although we managed to take the correct route.

Not wanting to cut short our enjoying of the weather for today, we came on down here for this WherIGo tour. We've all been by and through the the sculpture park before (and one of the extended family helped run security for the park not too long ago), but this cache had us looked at a few of the sculptures a little more closely. Lots of other people out today enjoying the beautiful holiday weather. TFTC
