Welcome to Omaha/Bellevue: Parks: Haworth Park

This park encloses a large campground, Winsor Cove, picnic areas, boat ramp into the Missouri River,  Two softball diamonds with parking, riverside walking and biking trails, a Lewis and Clark Memorial as presented by children, benches to watch the river.  The road that on the map looks like it might go underneath Mission Ave to American Heroes Park does not as it is blacked off.  American Heroes Park is north of the road and Haworth park to the south.  There is also a playground.  This park has river access for boating or fishing.  There is a nice view of the Bellevue Bridge which crosses the Missouri River to Iowa.

Nauvoo Arrival Center

 I am glad the arrival center is there.  I had travelled all day from Indiana to Nauvoo, and needed a place to change my shirt and freshen up a little before attending the temple.  This is a sitting area across from the temple.  I was much more prepared for the temple.  There are bathrooms and art work.

Welcome to Omaha/Bellevue: Parks: American Heroes Park

 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.

Fremont Lakes State Park

 Fremont Lakes is a series of sand pit lakes close to the Platte River.  There are over 20 lakes.  Most do not allow fast boat but kayaks and swimming are cool.  Jeremy and Mark and families were visiting so we too a day trip to the lakes.  This was our first time there but we may be back.  We had a sandwich lunch with potato chips.  It turned out to be a pretty fun day.  I even got in.  Camberly said the further out the warmer the water would be.  I never found the warm spot.

Grand Junction Colorado Temple

 The Grand Junction Temple is not yet open.  It is scheduled for an open house in September and dedication October 19.  It is convenient to the freeway.  However they are doing construction on the road to the tempe which will hopefully be done for the open house.  This is a beautiful temle.  It does not have and Angel Moroni but was a tall spire.
