Good Ankeny running spots?

[sedster08]

I am new to the Ankeny area and looking for any suggestions on good outdoor areas/parks to go running. I liked running at Ada Hayden in Ames. Any ideas on places to run in Ankeny that is not just running by homes and perfectly cut lawns?

There are trails around the DMACC campus.

DMACC or Prairie Ridge.

Anywhere can be a nice outside running area if you're wanting to go.

Prairie Ridge was nice the handful of times I ran there.

Run down my street...my neighbor's lawn is a mess!

The trail by the Oralaber cemetery that heads South is nice and shaded.

Go run the high trestle trail, but please stay right and don't wear headphones.
