    My dogs always get excited as we approach Hanscom Park dog park. They've been here so often, they could probably walk there themselves. It's a large park with three different sections; one of the sections is always closed for renovation. Because so many people use the park the grass wears out. So they take turns using different sections. One of the three sections that's open is always for small dogs and the other one is for large dogs. However, many people bring their small dogs into the large dog area. It's on quite a slope so everybody goes down the hill to the flatter area. There are picnic tables and trees for shade. Dog duty bags are available, but many people bring their own. There's also a water faucet during warm weather, and many people bring water bowls. It gets turned off in winter. As with most dog parks, they discourage dogs who are aggressive from being there off leash. On the best weather days it can get kind of crowded, but it's big enough to accommodate everybody. It's especially fun to visit with other people about their dogs. The dogs race with joyous abandon which is a treat to watch. So if you're looking for a great place to take your dog give this park a try.

    My first time ever going to a dog park and I enjoyed it I did see two time dogs fighting but for me it's natural that some dogs would just not get along .. I have two Doberman puppies and one mix pitbull and they were acting accordingly... I do recommend if you have a delicate pup dog ti but some pepper spray at any pet store ..

    A few more visits in, I feel like I am getting the hang of this dog park. Three fenced areas: 1. Small dogs 2. All dogs 3. All dogs All have trash cans for poop, water fountains at the entrance, and poop bags (if available-sometimes needs refilling. everyone I have met, including myself, bring our own). There is a gradual downhill starting from the top at all three gates, and they slope down to a flatter area where most of the dogs are playing. These hills are no joke in the winter. I have almost slipped on ice a few times descending down to the play area, so please be careful! Wear proper shoes in the winter or you'll slip and slide- risking injury. Also dress warmly, this area can catch the windchill we are so famous for in the winter, so dont risk getting sick or freezing to death. Picnic benches are here for owners if they want, and trees, which I assume would provide a nice shade in the spring and summer (it's currently winter so I have no idea). Parking, still the same situation I mentioned in my previous review. A lot with about 7 stalls, and a lot of people parking on the street (an already narrow path for cars trying to make it through the park). Everyone I have met so far here is very nice. There are of course, a few inattentive owners that just sit on the bench and play on their phone, but most people seem to be paying attention to the dogs and how they are playing. I swear you have to keep your eyes on them the whole time, because if you're wondering who that inconsiderate person that "didnt pick up his/her dog's poop", it's you! There have been plenty time my attention was caught in conversation or looking at other dogs play that I almost missed my dog's squat. There are plenty of regulars here, and since I have started coming in the winter, you can really see the dedication of many Omaha dog owners. Can't wait to make more friends for both me and my pup.

    Outside the park there is a big long list of rules that you should probably read. It appears that many people don't. While I'd say you should follow every rule, I feel a few are more important than others: If it's a first time visit, go during off-peak hours so you can see how your dog behaves No puppies under 4 months (keep them safe, especially if they're not up-to-date on vaccinations) Pick up after your dog Refrain from smoking You're responsible for what your dog does. My lab puppy has just come of dog park-going age, and I begin any potential venture by casing the joint first. Since he's on the little dog/big dog cusp, I go to the small dog park if there aren't any elderly small dogs (he gets too rough and/or annoying), and the big or all dog section if the big dogs there aren't too rough/annoying. A couple of times the big dogs have descended on him like a pack of jackals (FU, inattentive dog parents!) and other times he's been able to play with friendly big dogs. In the jackal scenario, we leave. In the friendly scenario, of course we stay because the friendly dogs usually have friendly people with them. I have met far more good people than shit heels. But shit heels have dogs too, so whatever. It is great that they have separate sections for different sized dogs. Like I said, you can bring an of-age puppy to the little dog section if s/he's not ready to tussle with the big kids, but don't be a jerk and let the pup torment senior toy dogs. I haven't seen much poop lying around like past reviewers, but it definitely gets muddy there after wet weather, so be careful walking down that hill, and maybe stay on the grassy area for playtime. Have fun, and bring those poop bags!

    I love, love, love this park! I have two dogs, a lab/boxer mix and a chihuahua, and I love to take them to dog parks. I have been to others in Omaha, and have not been satisfied. Hanscom is by far the best in town. It has a small dog area, and an all dog area. The space is huge. There are also several picnic tables for pet parents. I also love all of the shade. At other parks, your dog is basically running in an open field. At Hanscom they have lots of hills and tree's to run around. There are also plenty or waste stations to clean up after your dog. The pet parents and their dogs there are also super friendly. I recommend this place 100%!

    This dog park is fab! It's divided into three separate areas. One area for small dogs, one for big dogs, and I'm guessing the last is for all dogs. No one seems to be in that area though. Great crowd too, my pup gets along with all the pups there and the owners are always attentive. I've only heard of a few dogs that have been aggressive in the past and from the sound of it they no longer come to the park. So happy we have Hanscom park!

    Best dog park I've been to in Omaha. Plenty of shade for everyone and lots of room to run. And no mud puddles in the summer

    This place is great! Two large fenced areas are divided between large and small breeds. Both have a…read moredog and a human water fountain. There's enough room to walk around the park for exercise, if people desire. There are benches and several trees. If your dog likes water, there is a gate to the lake next to the park which is fenced in with the fence running down to the lake. This allows your dog to go for a swim. It's a really nice park in the middle of Papillon. There is a small amount of parking (4-5 cars) and during my time there, 4 other dogs were in the park.

    Walnut Creek RA is pretty nice. I enjoy hanging out there. The main reason I go is for the dog…read morepark. It's a big dog park, with lots of space to run, and a fence separates the large dog area from the small dog area. Didn't see a water station, but maybe I overlooked it. WCRA is listed as a Lakeside green space with a boat ramp & fishing pier, plus hiking, biking & equestrian trails. I have seen the boat ramp, and seems to be ample parking. There are some trails, but calling them "hiking trails" is a stretch. Walking paths would be more appropriate. The big no swimming sign is strange to me. I'm not from Nebraska, so I'm finding it hard to believe there are so many no swimming areas. Maybe someone can explain this to me. Overall, good to walk around, fish, and I guess boat. Very pretty compared to most of Nebraska, which seems to be deforested.
