Jester Park Equestrian Center is a part of Polk County Conservation. Established in 1998, the Center operates year-round, providing outdoor and horse recreational activities for all ages.
Jester Park Equestrian Center is a full-scale, public equine facility with many activities to offer the members of Polk County.
In the summer, enjoy taking a guided trail ride on one of our many seasoned trail horses. Enjoy the scenic Saylorville Lake and learn about the local habitats and wildlife found here.
In the fall, come out for a family wagon ride and enjoy the changing colors of the leaves. In October, come for our pumpkin patch and Halloween Event.
In the winter, bring the kids to come and meet Santa, and to enjoy a traditional sleigh ride. We offer hot chocolate and ‘smores to make the outing complete.
In the spring, the barn is always buzzing with pony rides, birthday parties, and lessons for kids of all ages.
Whatever the season- come on out to Jester Park Equestrian Center, and let us share a little bit of our happiness thru horses with you!
