👍 Great play area, and I actually love that there's no parking lot - this means a cleaner park, more space to play, and more families who walk from nearby. Bathrooms and drinking water would be a huge improvement, but we don't get that anywhere in Omaha for some reason. People often mention park, play, kids, area, playground, equipment, love, good, nice,

    Great park for kids! There's a baseball field, basketball court, and a playground all in the same area. Trees are abound and a small sidewalk wraps around the park and surrounding neighborhood. It seems out-of-the-way because of its high elevation and tree coverage.

    This is a good little neighborhood park. My issue and why I took away a star is that there doesn't seem to be much in the way of upkeep and NO BATHROOMS. I found broke bottles and empty little liquor bottles in the park around the benches. Other than that... I'd say it's a great little park. I love the ASL sign they have on the playground area. I don't see many people utilizing this park, but it's in a decent neighborhood, and I've had no issues with coming here. I'd suggest anyone in the area to go, and I frequent the place with my infant.

    Very quiet and calm park, which is never usually possible here. One thing i did not like, is that most of the playground equipment had climbing involved and more and more parks are becoming this way making it harder for the littler ones to play as much. And bring back the Merry-go-rounds for the love of chocolate! Neighborhood was nice as well. Haha totally off the wall park post but hey, you asked....❤🤘✌

    This park is the shizz. I do wish there was a little more shade over the play toys and swings. But my 5 year old loves it here and I love it. It's peaceful enough to bring my infant as well. "Conveniently" there is a small convenience store across the street.

    This park is right off of a main road but the play area is far enough that you feel comfortable letting the kids roam freely. Plenty of benches to sit on as well.

    I think they can do a better job of putting play equipment out there that's just my opinion I'm just glad my son's older now so I don't have to worry about him playing on it it's not that it's unsafe I just feel that it could be a little better
