    Swim/Beach area. Nice size lake with some wildlife. Great place for families to; walk, nature observe, fish, play at playground, exercise, picnic areas, with spots to grill/bbq. Boat and jet ski docks. Plenty of parking lots throughout park. Trails to walk or ride. Lots of trees. Water kinda dirty, but over all good place for all ages.

    🌲 🌲 scenery and a Lake for 🚤and occasional water skiing. Full Playground but no washroom facilities, unless you rent out brick building w/long picnic tables located within. There are some spaced out standard iron grills scattered throughout the areas and light🎏 areas too. And spaces for attended 🐕 🐕 to roam w/pet owners. It has a 🏀 area, across from Playground and a small🏐 close to Lake w/low sand turf (that's has not been used). During 3 Seasons, litter/debris are maintained by visible groundskeeper service truck men. I've seen multiple of Parents/Guardians practice driving there. It can accommodate medium traffic drive through from Omaha to Carter Lake, Iowa airport🛫🛬 and most active during late afternoons, in warmer weather.

    The wooden steps and pier look old and a bit unsafe. There was trash on the ground. Other than that, it is a peaceful summer location for fishing or a picnic.

  • 5/5 Dan M. 5 years ago on Google • 58 reviews

    Opened in 1908, the Levi Carter Park is a classic jewel in Omaha's parks system. The vast lake, beautiful picnic areas, waterfront and other amenities are wonderful. The pavilion there was built as a bathhouse by the WPA in the 1930s, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

  • 4/5 Payton C. 1 year ago on Google
    I went with my school to clean it up. It’s a nice park but there’s one area that had a problem with people dumping off their dead dogs. We found 3.

  • 5/5 Earl J. 4 years ago on Google
    I like the new improvements

  • 3/5 Cara F. 9 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    This is a place where they have ball field in some of the area's, picnic areas, park's for your children, boating area's, & of course a places to fish. This area is bigger than most would believe. And more then enough space and place for the whole family to enjoy the afternoon.

  • 5/5 Jei 10 months ago on Google
    Awesome for piece of mind...and possibly blood pressure!

  • 4/5 Jason K. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a nice place to sit & wait for our family members flight from Denver to arrive at Epply, because you can only load & unload from the front of the airport. No parking allowed in the loading area. Thete was a great deal of construction in & around the airport so it was somewhat difficult to navigate. The park was mear minutes away from the terminal. Very convenient.

  • 1/5 Linda J. 2 years ago on Google
    The park is falling apart! It's horrible! Parking lots and dock area full of potholes! Filthy from tree debris being put there. It used to be a beautiful park to picnic and fish and let your kids play...not anymore! Shameful Omaha has let it go like this!

  • 1/5 Nicholas M. 10 months ago on Google
    Low water can't launch the boat.

  • 3/5 Thomas S. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent park, but they definitely need restrooms or portable units. If you have to relieve yourself, you have to either leave the park or find a tree. Not exactly optimum.

  • 1/5 Jasmine L. 11 months ago on Google
    Didn't feel safe here AT ALL. People kept creeping by and stopping and there were bloody diapers outside... Disgusting

  • 5/5 Naomie O. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tirzah R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for family or pets to hang out and watch the jetskis/boats on the lake! Great place for fishing as well when you know the spots!

  • 4/5 Joyce M. 1 year ago on Google
    Looking for a park for my dog and location to be well maintained. The grass was freshly cut and trees were well trimmed and no sign of shrubs and debris.

  • 3/5 Miranda C. 1 year ago on Google
    The spraygrounds is ok but only half of the place sprays water, the actual playground is great and my kids love it but I wish they would fix the sprayground so that it would all work!
