Welcome to Omaha/Bellevue: South Omaha Trail

 I discovered a trail where it crosses Vinton.  I walked it a bit in both directions.  I only walked a little, but it connects the Field Club area to the Keystone Trail.  It goes under the I-80 and then turns west to the Keystone Trail.  

Welcome to Omaha/Bellevue: N.P. Dodge Memorial Park Omaha

 NP Dodge Memorial Park is so named as a memorial to Nathan Phillips Dodge who established the NP Dodge Company in Iowa and Nebraska.  The family donated the land for the park to Omaha City in 1930 as a memorial.  N.P. Dodge is the brother of Grenville Dodge who was also part of the company and a railroad land baron.  

The River Front Trail runs through the park.  There is a marina and boating, softball diamonds, tennis courts, a camping area, fields for soccer, a restroom area, horseshoe pit, fishing, covered picnic area, open space, and a Lewis and Clark Monument.
