Ankeny has plans for a 425 feet concrete glow trail, connecting to the High Trestle Trail near Uptown Ankeny. The city got a 20-thousand dollar public art grant for the project. The glow trail will be the first planned attraction along the trail in this part of Ankeny.

From the City of Ankeny:

The glow trail will be included as part of Phase One of the City’s new High Trestle Trail Experience Park. Phase One establishes a park-like environment and serves as the foundational canvas for the City to initiate projects outlined in Ankeny's High Trestle Trail Public Art Master Plan. This plan included input from over 1,000 residents and was guided by a public steering committee who was actively engaged in identifying projects and project locations. The glow trail will be the first planned attraction along the trail in this area of the city and is expected to draw visitors and residents to experience this unique trail amenity.

Phase I of the High Trestle Trail Experience Park project will be bid this summer, with construction beginning late summer/early fall. Phase I is expected to be completed by spring 2025.
