LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR OF
LEISURE SERV ICES
Welcome to Leisure Services’ Clive Connected publication, a catalog of our current program
offerings and news about what Parks, Recreation, and the Library will be up to in the
Richard Brown coming months.
The Spring/Summer issue is our largest catalog of offerings as the Aquatic Center opens for the season and
kids enjoy their summer vacation. You will notice some changes to our book including an update to the
Aquatic Section to increase clarity, extended camp offerings, and new offerings at the Harbach Center.
The Harbach Center has been operating for a year with many successful programs, a comfortable place to
gather, and a cozy neighborhood library. In January of 2024, we opened the Center’s new gaming lounge
with an Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch and Playstation 5. Be sure to stop by during open hours to see our
new space!
2024 will continue to be a big year for Leisure Services with groundbreaking at Greenbelt Landing, park
and trail reconstruction, and new amenities. While we are making improvements, please stay tuned to City

Stonegate Playground
On August 17, 2023 the playground at Stonegate Park was sadly destroyed
by arson. While the acts of that day are unfortunate and rendered the
playground unusable for the remainder of the summer, we are excited
to rebuild the playground better than ever. City staff will work with the
neighborhood to select a final playground concept plan, and ultimately
rebuild for summer 2024.
Little Walnut Creek Trail and Creek Work
In early March, the City of Waukee will start construction on a new sanitary sewer near the north bank of Little Walnut Creek. The
project will affect neighborhoods, trails, and natural areas near the creek in Waukee, Clive, and Urbandale. All three cities are
working together to lessen disruptions caused by the construction and prepare for future improvements, including streambank
stabilization, vegetation restoration, trail expansion, and widening Alice’s Road.
These improvements will take time but will bring new amenities, utility services, and street enhancements. While the project will

Greenbelt Goats
The Clive Greenbelt Goats were introduced to the City in late 2019 and are a special herd
helping us manage invasive plant species, like bush honeysuckle and garlic mustard along
the Greenbelt Park and trail system. By grazing on non-native understory plants, the
goats are helping native plants have a chance to grow back more quickly and overtake
for all ages
invasive species like bush honeysuckle, and they especially love the garlic mustard!
When the goats graze on forest understory plants, native plants have a chance to grow
back quickly and overtake the invasive species. Clearing out aggressive invasive plants
is critical to maintaining a healthy Greenbelt that supports the trees, shrubs, grasses,
flowers, and wildlife we love!
During warmer weather the herd is moved along the Greenbelt to work. You can use the
map on our website to see where the herd is grazing. During these times the goats are
often deep in the foliage, away from the path, working hard at clearing the area and may
not come to the fence.
When visiting, please do not feed the goats anything from home! Feed can be purchased at the machines at City Hall. Feeding the
herd food that isn’t in their diet regime, even food they really like, can be dangerous for them.
Want to support the Greenbelt Goats? Merchandise purchased goes to supporting the care, feeding and housing for the goats.
You can purchase Greenbelt Goat merchandise at the Clive Public Library main branch during regular open hours.
You can also work with the Greenbelt Goats! Find out more about volunteering by contacting Jeff Lucas, Recreation Manager, at
(515) 867-5127 or jlucas@cityofclive.com.
