The happenings of the Billy and Sheri Wardle family
This is a baseball, softball park. Papillion seems to have more than their share of ball fields. Here there are two fields with another infield cutout for t-ball. It also has a couple picnic gazebos and a playground. There is a snack shack and restrooms.
The Upland Park and the Miguel Keith Parks are kitty corner from each other on 30th and Y Streets. The Upland Park features a spray park, area for soccer, a pump track fo biking, scooters or skate boards and a covered picnic area
Everett Park is nice. It has restrooms supporting a splash pad. It also has pickleball and tennis, softball and soccer fields. There is a creek flowing through it with a walking bridge. It is located very close to Bellevue University on Betz Road.

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.
Swanson Park has some very unique facets. It is a very large park with a porta potty available. It has a nice playground, two softball fields, a nice covered picnic area (This is where our ward had a Fourth of July breakfast.). It also has a system of trails for hiking or biking. The trails are in a wooded area and they circl around a lot to make them longer. The park is off of Cornhusker, west of 25th. From Cornhusker you see the Bellevue Fire Department sign, and the park sign is a half block towards the training facility.
Gemini PPark is located across the parking lot from the Sarpy County Museum. Withing the park is the old train depot which has been mosed here as no longer serves as a depot, The park has playground, picnic area and the historical depot.
When I move to a new place I like to check out the parks. I have visited a few, but now want to start recording and sharing what I have found. The American Heroes Park is unique in its playground equipment. Some of it is very challenging. Anthony helped the littles on the zip line. There were also features even challenging for adults.
I understand the park was recently redone due to flooding. And they have reallynoverdone. I do not thing the hero part is yet completed, but the fishing pond, walks and playground more than make up for it. There is still no plumbed bathroom but just portapotties. flush toilets are at Haworth park across Mission.

Mohave Wash Path travels diagonally through Kingman, mostly in a north to south; but more north east to south west. it follows Mohave Draw and there is a paved trail from Beverly (behind the library) to Northern, east of Banks. It continues on to at least Thompson but is not paved. The was continues even further. Along the path is the was where there is sand and rocks. Along the bank there is also vegetation and trees. It lines the Walleck Neighborhood City Park.
