One of the highlights is the new fully inclusive playground -- it's thoughtfully designed with ramps, wheelchair-accessible swings, and fun features for kids of all abilities, making it a great destination for families.

I also love the recent trail improvements at 168th Street -- the updated sections make riding and walking around the park feel smoother and safer. Whether you're out for a spin, a stroll, or a family day, Lake Zorinsky is a must-visit outdoor escape in West Omaha!

I spent about 10 minutes walking in one direction and then had to turn around to make my appointment but in that 20 minutes, I fell in love with this place. The trail itself is really lovely. You can tell that it is very well maintained and not overgrown next to the path. The small bridges for pedestrians to walk over along the path are a nice touch as well. So much of the trail is shaded and this was a particularly cool day which made me excited to come back in the fall and see the leaves change. I saw two deer while I was there both somewhat close to the path and completely visible, and I passed a handful of other people, enjoying the trail that day, including a handful of leashed dogs which are allowed on the trail. The trail is six or 7 miles long so definitely plan for a long day if you plan to do the whole Lake, but there are two loops that you can do in a shorter amount of time or you can do what I did and park at one of the parking lots do a small walk and then turn around and go back.

This is a pretty cute little park right between a couple of highly used roads in Bellevue. From my…read morepictures you can see it has been getting updated with some latest burke playground equipment. Unfortuntaly there was no direct handicap access or ride on handicap equipment like i have seen at other sites. One interesting thing about this park is its quite spread out. There is a splash pad area, playground area, tennis courts and baseball diamonds but they are all hundred feet or more apart. The tennis court area looks to be getting some pickle ball courts but i couldnt tell for sure. There is street side parking that is on the same side as the park and a private parking lot but it is clear at one end so might miss it until you are leaving! The covered areas with picnic tables are pretty decent size. Roughly 6 x 10 person tables in them. There is a creek/water run off that separates the baseball areas from the rest which does have good fencing protecting it. If you have allergies beware the surrounding cottonwood trees! Felt like it was snowing at times which is funny until you breathe it in haha.

The park is a quiet space which includes various athletic fields (baseball, basketball, tennis) and a well-maintained fishing pond stocked with catfish, bass, bluegill, and trout in season.

There's a couple benches by the playground for parents to watch kids play, and picnic tables if you want to come for a meal or hang out. It gets mowed regularly but not often, and sometimes the trash could be emptied before they get to it. There are times people will leave things behind and it looks trashy but that's not too often thankfully. It really is a nice park and homes in the surrounding area around are well cared for, so it's a good place to come with or without kids.

What a gorgeous Park this is! Bayliss Park is named after Samuel Bayliss, who donated the land for…read morethe park in 1854. He was a businessman, entrepreneur and city council member. I enjoyed my visit because this Park is chock full of sculptures, statues and memorials. Still, it is a relaxing place for families to visit and children to play. The water fountains were particularly entrancing to me. They were designed by a sculptor named Brower Harcher, which accounts for their artistically beautiful features. On www.councilbluffslibrary. org., I read that Bayliss Park had a funny way of coming about. "In 1854, Bayliss donated a portion of the land he owned to build a county courthouse; but, when the county inspectors arrived they dismissed his land and instead purchased a plot one block to the south to build on. Despite the fact that the original purpose for his donation had been ignored, the city still began to develop the land for city use. Ten years after the donation the city began to plant trees on the plot and even put up a large wooden fence to surround the park. All of this was done without any known objection from Mr. Bayliss." It was not until 20 years later, that Mr. Bayliss demanded his land back and sued the county, and subsequently the city of Council Bluffs. He died in April 1874 while the trial was still pending & his widow continued the fight! The very Park named after Samuel Bayliss was being sued by none other then the family of Samuel Bayliss! Finally, in 1878, a Judge ruled in favor of Council Bluffs, stating that, although the land was not used as Mr. Bayliss had originally intended, he had still donated it willingly and had never objected to its use before. That's good enough for me. This focal point of downtown Council Bluffs is a very nice Park and a great place to visit, 4 YELP STARS!
