Big Hollow has become one of Southeast Iowa’s premier outdoor recreation areas. Through grants and generous donations, the community has already invested millions in this multi-use friendly community attraction.
There is so much more planned for the park, though. To learn more about how, together, we'll turn Big Hollow into a World-Class Park, visit the Park Master Plan page.
You may donate to Big Hollow in several ways:
Donations of $500 or more will be recognized on engraved bricks that will be installed on the walking path in front of the donor wall at the park information kiosk at the entrance to the park. For larger donations, we offer benches, signage, and naming rights. Contact us for more information on those recognition programs.
For more information, contact us at (319) 753-8260 or by email at conservation@dmcounty.com..
