    Better than 5 stars. This place is the second best dog park I’ve ever been to. It’s massive! Has lots of trees, birds to chase and a creek to swim in. It also doesn’t have closing hours so you can put a glow ring around the dogs neck for some night time fun which several dogs were doing. How fun! Jack ran in a full sprint for 25 minutes straight. He gave this place a huge thumbs up. Wish we lived here to enjoy it more thoroughly instead of for the short time we had passing through! Plus there was a porta- potty for humans. Not many parks that think of the 2 legged parents. We can’t just lift a leg and go out in the open. So that’s a big bonus. Fantastic place!

    I absolutely love this place! There's so much room to walk around and let your dog run free. It was a lot of fun for my dog Nova and also a great walk for me. This is a great place to socialize and there's also plenty of water for your dog to play in 😊

    Well I have to admit, Lincoln Nebraska has about the nicest dog well I have to admit, Lincoln Nebraska has about the nicest dog parks as a whole I have ever seen.... so far they've all had nice concrete pads with benches to sit on every so often, and a gazebo cover picnic table, decent fencing and an all-around well-kept dog park. But this dog bark is Simply Amazing. From the old-growth trees, to the creek, to the Big Meadows, do your dog just being able to run and go crazy, this is the place. They actually have a bridge across the creek when I first tried to cross it I saw these little look like American Ninja thing sticking out of the water and thought I'll never make it over those so I walked around and I came to where the water fountain or I mean the waterfall you hear running and I couldn't cross the creek so I had to go back and cross the ninja things, and that's when the guy saw me and told me about the bridge hahaha

    One of the best dog parks I have ever been to. There are acres of land for the dogs to run around and play without being on a leash. Fences are effective and well done from what I can tell. Multiple types of terrain: creek, river, tall grass prairie, forest paths and hills. Be aware that your dog may get muddy, wet, and/or ticks. Looks like owners are very good at picking up after themselves and their dogs. Very friendly environment. And a beautiful place for humans too. Pretty trails, picnic tables, and benches. Would definitely check this park out at least once.

    Loved this place! So much room for my dog to run and play! Be forewarned there is a creek that runs through the large dog side. My swamp dog loved it but others might not

    Buddy and Laverne enjoying a cool morning chase. This is a nice park, people and pets are friendly. There are two sides divided so small pets have a safe play space

    I very much enjoy the people and the dogs here, but there is nowhere to get clean water for the the dogs to drink. There is also a hole in the fence, I was told, up by the highway. These are safety issues for the animals, especially with summer coming and more animals being outdoors. The park itself is a great spread for these dogs to have wonderful time!

    This is the absolute best dog park I've ever been to. There's water for swimming and open fields for running. It's a pain to clean the dogs afterwards but they always have a good time so it's worth it. It's just a beautiful place to go. You have plenty of trails to walk on around the entire park. I would highly recommend coming here. It also has a separate small dog area that I believe has no water, it's still very pretty, just smaller. I've never had a bad experience here.

    Now with agility course in the middle of the big dog area Excellent dog run, far better than anything in Omaha. It's divided into two areas, with the smaller dog area about 1/10th of the park. The larger dog area has 2 stream crossings with an inner and outer circuits that connect with several paths. Plenty of shade and benches.

    This is an absolutely MAGICAL dog park. One of the best in the country. Good people and dogs. Water, trees, path, grass. Some mud. Hills. My dogs were ecstatic. We will be back every time we drive across the country (which is a lot).

    The space itself was incredible for our pack of dogs. Wooded space, open fields, winding creek. Walking paths were fun and we'll thought out too. Minus 1 star due to people not picking up after their dogs.

    Our beloved four-legged companions absolutely relish their time at this expansive dog park. The sheer size of the park offers ample space for them to sprint, play fetch, and explore, ensuring they're happily worn out after hours of fun. The park features an array of amenities, including well-maintained trails for leisurely walks, and plenty of shaded areas for those much-needed breaks. The overall atmosphere is convivial, with a community of responsible pet owners that contributes to a safe and enjoyable experience for both dogs and humans. This park is truly a canine utopia, providing an unmatched environment for our furbabies and grandfurbabies to frolic freely.

    Pros: Yard for small dogs and separate yard for big dogs Tons of green space to run and roam around Porta potty for the humans ample amount of parking space Cons: SHORT FENCES Next to busy south 70th St can be loud

    This place is amazing. It's huge, with several paths to follow, fields, wooded area, and a river for swimming. We easily spent an hour and a half here and it felt like no time. We loved it, our dogs loved it, overall just a wonderful park.

    We LOVE going to the dog park! Everyone you meet is so friendly, and the dogs are super friendly! I love the separation between the big dogs and the little dogs if you choose to.

😐 This dog park is decent but could be better. The size of the park is great but there’s not much inside to entertain dogs. The walking path is a great feature to keep dogs and owners moving. With more trees and long native grass this place would be so much better. Let the long native grass grow wild...

😠 We went a few months ago and the self grooming room looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. I didn’t even bathe my dog because the brushes and tub was filled with hair from other dogs. Staff was rude and entire place smelled so badly of urine that I held my breath when I was given a tour. It s...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Lots of room to roam. Can be muddy and wet if you venture off the path. Water and woods are available if you choose. In the summer use bug spray to ward off ticks and chiggers. They keep a path cleared for ample walking in the Summer months.
