There is one porch swing and a shelter filled q picnic tables (both nearby) but neither are situated for close supervision. My girls are both very tall and neither could use the swings by themselves to encourage Independence and the tornado slides were way to high and they were scared to use them. It would be a great park for older kids tho. There is a big field for a game of football or running, tennis courts, a pool and a very nice shelter. Everything is in good condition too.

Here's an unexpected one, a park that would be nearly 4 stars in pretty much any city you picked it…read moreup and plunked it into. This one had a swimming pool attached and if you venture into the bathrooms, which, like the entire building that houses them, is in somewhat urgent need of a renovation, you can get some educational bits as well, such as why the humidity of that part of Nebraska is no good for metal. You can easily see this by noting the rusted metal bits lying on the ground from the stall partitions. No doors, so maybe those rusted away already. Also no sinks, which was obnoxious in an area with toilets. As to the park proper, very good stuff. The metal part was unshaded, which greatly limited its usefulness, but the new modern plastic playground jungle gym thing was very cool. Also tennis and volleyball courts and more education, in seeing the rough native ditch grass overtaking the park lawn. This is ubiquitous in those humid Midwest states, though, so no bother there. I really like what they did with this park and even though we wound up in Ashland through some obscene "guidance" on the part of my kinda sorta navigating wife, this part was more the happier part of that accident.

I still love Pipal Park and take my dogs here once in a while though not as often since they are…read moregetting old. There have been so many changes in recent years due to the new addition to Westgate Elementary School next door. The parking lot coming in off Hascall is completely different. The park itself had some construction in recent years. The scary and probably dangerous tunnel has been leveled and replaced as has the sidewalks, stairs, and pathways around it. There's all new playground furniture. The dense tree line separating the park from the mortuary next door is gone. There is still a lot of open land to walk my dogs. I always feel pretty safe here, especially now, though there are always some randos sitting alone in their cars but I suspect that's all parks.

I've attended events here since 2013 as I lived in the Village. You can find conerts, zumba, yoga, etc all in the park. It's fun to bring the kids and let them run around. There is a lot of play space and open greenery. It's a beautiful park with trails connecting to the Papio. Very worth it to make a day of it and bring a blanket and enjoy the views.

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!

There's not an over abundance of things for kids to do here and if there were I would probably give it 4 stars, but there are a couple of small pieces of playground equipment. What it lacks in activities it more than makes up for with charm. There is lots of wide open green space to play frisbee, have a picnic or walk your dog and there's a walking/bike trail that goes all the way around the pond. The pond is also home to ducks and geese which the kids all seem to love and there's a small dock overlooking the pond that allows you to sit and feed them. (Just make sure you bring health snacks for them such as cracked corn or grapes cut in half!) It's not Omaha's fanciest park, but it is a small tucked away neighborhood treasure that provides a tranquil place among the hustle and bustle of city life.

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.

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.

Non slip socks are required but seems like you don't have to buy them here if you bring them. It's a smaller playplace but nice that you don't have to keep an eye on kids in a huge area. $15 per kid and 2 adults free per group. They have drinks for sale from a fridge behind the counter, energy drinks for parents too!

We did not actually play here, so I will update my review when we do…read more We stopped in during a brief visit to Oakview. The kids looked pretty excited to see this new space. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to make the $15 per kid pass worth it. I asked if they had hourly rates, or introductory pricing to see if they liked it and they didn't. I would have preferred to check it out before the investment. From the looks of it it looks like a massive indoor playplace. I would love to come back. They have memberships and I think if you have 5 and under kids this would be worth the price, but with my school age kids we would not take advantage enough. It is definitely something needed in this area of town.
