As an adult re-rider, I wasn't looking for a highly competitive or elite show barn. I was looking…read morefor a place where I could receive quality instruction, enjoy my time with horses, and continue learning in a supportive, low-pressure environment. I found exactly that here at AME! The horses are well cared for and genuinely seem happy, which says a lot about the program. One of the things I appreciate most is the atmosphere. The younger riders encourage one another, everyone is welcoming, and there is a true sense of community. The facilities are functional and always improving, but what really makes this barn special is how it feels. I never worry about fitting in or keeping up appearances. I get to be the most authentic version of myself every time I walk through the gate, without judgment or expectations. The common thread among everyone here is simply a love of horses. If you're looking for a welcoming barn with quality instruction, happy horses, and an environment where riders of all ages and goals can enjoy the sport, I would absolutely recommend Ashley Mason Equestrian.

Boarded at this barn for 6 yrs. Only left since we bought an acreage and has room for horses…read more Lisa the trainer was extremely helpful with all my horse questions and with a lame/sick horse she went the extra mile to help me. I've had 2 nice show horses with her and she's probably one of the kindest trainers I've had(I've had a lot!) I boarded on the inside and even on a budget she was willing to help me navigate ways to save money during show season etc. Some of my lifelong friends were made at this barn! Everyone was SO helpful and willing to help made going to the barn so much fun! Cara the owner always was willing to listen if I needed something different for my horses and saw her make helpful accommodations for different boarders. They both were amazing and helpful and all about SAFETY which I appreciated if I brought my kids along! BEST PLACE ever to board and top notch care I never once worried about my horses care there. I will miss their guidance now that I have to do it by myself now!!

One of the nicest, cleanest and most professional boarding barns I've seen. Highly recommend!read more

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Overall, the cleanliness of the facility was lacking and quite a few of the games were malfunctioning (a little run-down). I would love to see this place get a little bit of a facelift!

I wish I came here more in more youth, as it is so beautiful and had a lot to do. It is not a traditional trail park, but there are a lot of stairs to climbs, trails to stroll and picnic sites to eat. There is a park at the top of one peak that is great for kids and adults alike. If you're looking to get out of the house during a quarantine, check this park out. Trail heads are found all over and there is enough to do at a social distance. I had a great time the last time I came with my family.

They have a playground - a handful of picnic tables - and a splash pad! It was super nice and the kiddos loved the water aspects. There is also huge fields for soccer, football, or pretty much anything you can think of. Have no issues parking as that is also huge! There is a trail that connects to the parking lot/trail of the Papio Creek. Overall a nice spot and would recommend!

I have visited Two Rivers in Summer and Spring, but my most recent visit was in early winter - and…read morethe winter season, while different from the fun of summer days - is still a cool time to visit and see the changes the season has made on the park. The water at Two Rivers stays strikingly blue no matter which season you visit, so I think it's definitely one of the cleaner parks in the regions, when it comes to water quality. There also was no litter that I saw, so whoever is maintaining the park is doing a great job. Two Rivers has great walking trails around the lake, so it's a wonderful place to go get some exercise in a cool surrounding. It's also never been busy when I visited, so if you like a more tranquil walk, it could be a good option for you. They also offer camping, fishing, swimming, and other outdoor activities (probably more for in the summer season), as well as horse trails if you happen to have a horse! For boating, they only allow non powered boats, so keep that in mind if you're wanting to fish off your boat. While this isn't a huge park compared to a few others in the Omaha/Iowa area, it does offer a lot of activities and cool scenery for being a smaller park! Definitely worth a visit, even if it's a short one.

If you're a proud house dog parent, and they need that social activity...Dog Park it is…read more With the state of some of them in town, the aggressive weather lately, and a personal desire to not have a muddy dog in the car... Dewey Park is where it's at! It's 100% high quality turf, small/big dog separated...water feature, poopy bags included, and some fun activities on both sides. Plenty of water bowls too. For the two legged parents, there are great benches with big umbrellas...almost always 1/2 of them in shade depending on the time of day. I've only met a few fellow owners, but every one I meet is nice! Bring a book, Bring a Sandwich, and BYOD...or else it's weird if you don't bring a dog. I just have to try not to say the word Park around the house.

If you bring a picnic lunch you have your pick of activities. It looks like there's a building there that has space for events also, but it isn't labeled so it's hard to tell. Another great thing about this park is it's right next-door to a dog park. I have previously written about Dewey dog park, another place my dogs enjoy going off leash. So small but mighty, Dewey Park is worth a visit.
