    This park is built over an old landfill, and was once a baseball field. Over time, the land settled, and it became too hilly to remain a good option for baseball, so, the dog park was born. I was really impressed with this dog park after our initial visit. I am a regular at Hanscom Dog park due to the close proximity to my house, but have also been curious about Hefflinger out West. I was finally able to make a visit on a Monday at around 3pm with PERFECT weather conditions (63 and no wind, sunny and blue skies) and had such a great time. The organization of the park is similar to Hanscom-there are three enclosed pens and one is for small dogs and the rest are for large dogs or all dog sizes. Trashcans, trash bags, and water fountains are present in each of the pens. There is seating for dog owners if they want to relax as well. What I like about this park in comparison to Hanscom is: 1. Flatter terrain, and easier for my dog to run 2. more grass, less powdery dirt When I have time, this is certainly my park of choice to drive to. I still love Hanscom, but sometimes it's nice to mix it up, and having a less dirty dog after an hour of romping is certainly a bonus.

    We have two dogs and I decided to take one of them out to the dog park today after hearing so much about it and the dog park makeover competition. One of our dogs is 7 months old & about 40 lbs, the other is almost 2 and about 105 lbs. We decided to take just one of them at first to see how it went. My daughter and I took Chloe, the younger one. (Pics posted.) If you've never been, you'll definitely want to check the website and look over the rules. www.omahadogpark.org/ It's a very large and wide open park, formerly baseball fields, split into two fenced areas - one for small dogs (30 lbs and under) and one for big dogs and small dogs that aren't afraid of big dogs. There is also a playground across the parking lot if you take the kids and they decide they're not comfortable around so many dogs. The website says to bring water for your dog since there's none available at the park but there is now a water fountain and even though the website said the fountains are turned off for the season, they were on when we were there today. Your best bet is to be prepared and take both water and a bowl. Dogs have to be leashed while walking to/from the park but can be taken off the leash as soon as they enter the park. I like that there are two gates because if a dog should happen to make a break for it, they won't get very far unless both gates are open. I was very nervous about taking our dog off of her leash so we walked her around along the (inside) edge of the park for a bit first. When we got closer to the dogs and other dog owners, it was pretty obvious we were newbies because of the leash. Several people were so friendly and helpful and told me to just take off her leash, that she'd be okay and that it makes it a lot easier. Letting her off of her leash was almost as nerve-racking as sending one of my children off to kindergarten! But she did much better than I expected. All of the dogs there (about 30 or so, ranging in size from terriers to Newfoundlands and St. Bernards) were so well-behaved. The humans were polite, friendly, and totally understanding when it came to being jumped on or slobbered on. The park itself needs a lot of work so I really hope our city wins the makeover competition that Sarah and Sadie (I think those are the right names) entered. There aren't many places to sit, not a whole lot of shade and quite a few holes in the very uneven ground. It's really easy to find. Just take the Maple Street exit off of 680, head towards 108th Street then turn left at the next light after the one at 108th and Maple. The short road (Hefflinger) that you turn onto at that light just runs right into the parking lot. I'm really glad that we have access to a place like this and I can't wait to go back and take both dogs with us this time.

    Very nice place! This is the first time I bring my baby to dog park. He is a little bit nervous and shy, I hope next time he can becoming outgoing and making lots of friends:)

    The fences are well maintained and having poop bags available makes cleaning up easy.

    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.
