Love going by, through, and in this historical park in Licoln Nebremaska. It's the original park in…read moreLincoln since 1867. Really beautiful and green when there is a lot of precipitation! A huge place to walk around. Not too far from my brother's current residence. If you are ever in the area, stop by this park for a visit!

This has got to be the best lake in Lincoln. If it isn't, please let me know. I love this lake for…read moremany reasons; its beauty, how much easy exercise you can do by simply walking around the lake, it's maintained well, and there's plenty of parking. There are also bathrooms available, picnic tables, benches, many areas to fish for those who have their fishing license, etc. there's even a playground for littles! What I love most is you can do 2 loops around this lake and easily get your 10k+ steps in.

Our entire time was perfect, but they want me to leave a better review than that statement, so here…read moreya go!

Pioneer Park is one of the best attractions in Nebraska…read more This park has it all (puts on SNL Stefon voice): -History (the pillars that were part of the original treasury building) -Culture (the statue and story of Red Cloud) -Nature (the beautiful scenery and ponds) -Wildlife (the buffalo/deer/etc) And it is just a few minutes from Lincoln and a short drive from Omaha! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, but still adventurous, activity!

I was looking for another fun park to do some exploring. I found this and decided to check it out -…read morethere is so much here to see. I really wish I had known and found the older exploratory part of the park earlier in the day - I spent too much time on the picnic-y parts of the park, but I enjoyed it. The signs were a little bit misleading - there are parts of the exploritory area that are closed to the public but there was no warning of that when you were heading that way. I actually really enjoyed the bird observatory and the bridge. It was such a hot day but I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

After a long day touring Lincoln, we needed a playground break and found this completely huge…read moreamazing playground! This playground is for all kids ages with cushion mats throughout.

It's the perfect place to go get fresh air while enjoying Mother Nature. If you love plants and flowers, come here. You won't regret it. There's a parking lot. It's free. It's impossible to give this place less than 5 stars.

This lovely park in southwest Lincoln was my last stop as I was leaving Lincoln. At 28 acres, it's…read moreone of the larger parks in the Lincoln parks system. Lots of parking, a hiking/bike trail, picnic tables (some with shelters, some without) and a number of playgrounds. The park is very well shaded and a bit set back from the busy road. You won't be able to escape civilization but you'll at least be able to put some distance between you and it. As always, never hike alone! [Review 11396 overall, 1173 of 2019.]

This place was much harder than it needed to be to find. Google maps took me a really odd way and…read moreeven then I believe I actually drove around it twice before I ignored the directions being given to kind of throw it off (mostly due to the construction that was also going on around it). I then accidentally found it. However, when I did find it, I was pretty happy. I do wish there was more of a resource for finding out about the trails. There was one trail that went kind of through a bunch of trees right to the left of the parking area and I could almost hear a waterfall? river but I could not figure out how to get to it and it was getting late and starting to rain, so I did not feel safe doing a lot of exploring. I absolutely loved walking along some of the trails and over the bridge (although with as strong as the smell was, I feared that I barely missed an encounter with a skunk). I did not do near the amount of walking I could have done due to the time of day and the rain storm coming, but man, I can't wait until I have a day to go back and do some more exploring - this place is fascinating.

This was a really nice park. There are about 2 miles of trails. The trails are paved (a little…read morehilly) and there is lots of green space around them. There's a playground, frisbee golf, bathrooms (I think) and more.
