    This park is good sized and has some very new equipment! There are several smaller covered tables along with a larger pavilion for parties, the sand is very fine and feels great!

    Great park!! Was a perfect location for a kiddo birthday party. There was enough shade and great place for a BBQ picnic. Only 4-5 stars because there are no bathrooms. We enjoyed it, though!

    We have never been here before and we had a great experience. They had a volleyball court and a toddler playground as well as a big kids playground. A good amount of table. Great park!

    Good trail to walk around a couple times. Sand volleyball, tennis courts, and equipment for kids to enjoy. Did notice us a couple of public charcoal grills.

    Used the sand volleyball area with family, nice park. Kids couldn't use the playground though because there were wasps everywhere flying over the sand.

    Very nice park but not a dog park it's dog friendly in the sense it's huge with lots of room but there are no fenced area specifically for dogs lots of benches a couple of play grounds and walking/running paths form one end to the other just not your traditional dog park

    I went to this park with a group of people and it was super fun! There is a lot to do, and play. They have a really nice sand volleyball court too. The pavillion was perfect for a little picnic. The park is also super enjoyable. There is a place for little kids and then a more elaborate part for older kids. Great place all around!

  • 4/5 Kurt P. 6 years ago on Google
    I went here when I was little in the 90s. I remember there was a weeping willow tree on the eastern side of the park that my mom and I would sit under and we had slurpees from 7-11 together. I was shocked when I couldn't find that willow tree on Google Street View. What happened to it? Also, I remember crossing over that bridge a lot that went over the creek. Good times. I'll be revisiting this place when I get the chance to vacation to Omaha again.

    A nice little splash pad for families with a relaxing waterfall. I could do without the music, but overall a nest little spot.

  • 5/5 Alvin L. 3 years ago on Google
    Went there during Labor Day. The place is serene despite the roadside traffic of downtown Papillion, NE. The water fountain/water fall thing was a nice touch. A+

    Lots of shade, good options for a three and an 18-month-old to play. The only problem is that everything is covered in sand.
