My wife and I took a stroll through the park on our way to the Bob. The fountain was down for repair, so it wasn’t anything special. The paths were clean of litter and there were quite a few people enjoying the park. The wild geese scared my wife, but it was cool to see them interact with the other... More

This park was really nice when we visited it. It is clean and a nice walk around water with fountains and ducks. It is an urban park with a little bit of nature.

We love walking at the Heartland of America Park. It is just beautiful. Omaha would definitely not be the same without it. During the holidays it is all lit up with white Christmas lights and during the summer there tends to be ducks and a few swans to feed.

A nice place to go for a walk, large enough area to walk. There are tons of geese there to feed however they are somewhat aggressive toward eachother, more or less because we were feeding them and with so many there, food is prob. scarce. Another thing is there is tons of 'poo' from the geese. The best time to... More

I've been to this park many times. I love it most when the fountain is going off. Lots of birds to see. You can even take a boat ride. A very nice scenic park for our steadily improving downtown area.

Visited this park to kill some time before flying out of Eppley Airfield. Not a lot of people when we went, so was calm and peaceful. A nice place to have a picnic and feed the birds. Even a good place to walk dogs.

This is a nice little park, with fountains and many rolling pathways. You can even walk onto a viewing platform overlooking the river. Public toilets available, but yuk. The park is more worthwhile if you visit during a local festival or holiday event. Otherwise it's good for a walk in the fresh air. Paths are connected over to the north... More

Great veiw, well maintained, the fountains are clean and clear of trash. This is one place downtown that wasn't overrun with teenagers being loud and obnoxious.

Stopped down early on a Saturday expecting to go on a gondola ride and to see the water fountain. Area was deserted, onlt joggers. No soul otherwise for a beautiful day. Later found out area was flooded awhile back and nothing is up and running. Would have been nice to see that info posted down there. Otherwise park looked like... More
