Omaha, according to their Parks and rec on line page, has over 250 parks. This includes over 150 miles of trails, 12 community gardens, 17 aquatic facilities, 14 spraygrounds and 8 golf courses. I have visited a fraction of this:
Memorial Park in addition to memorials has a playground area, a rose garden, and large grassy area where we saw Ringo Star and fireworks.
Westgate Park has pool and trailhead and ball diamonds.
Miller Park has a pool, playground, spray ground, dog park, baseball field and golf course.
Kountze Park is located on land that was part of the 1898 world's fair, international exposition. The park covers four square blocks while the fairgrounds covered more than 24 bocks.
Elmwood Park has a very nice grotto, golf course, pool.
Walnut Grove Park was a fishing pond, large playground.
Mandan Park features hiking trails above the Missouri River.
Mount Vernon Garden was designed to look like George Washington's Mount Vernon
