One of the highlights is the new fully inclusive playground -- it's thoughtfully designed with ramps, wheelchair-accessible swings, and fun features for kids of all abilities, making it a great destination for families. Cyclists will appreciate the addition of air and tools for on-the-fly bike repairs, which makes stopping here even more convenient. I also love the recent trail improvements at 168th Street -- the updated sections make riding and walking around the park feel smoother and safer. Whether you're out for a spin, a stroll, or a family day, Lake Zorinsky is a must-visit outdoor escape in West Omaha!

I was on this side of town picking something up and had a little time to spare so I decided to pop…read moreover to the lake and see what the trail was all about. I spent about 10 minutes walking in one direction and then had to turn around to make my appointment but in that 20 minutes, I fell in love with this place. The trail itself is really lovely. You can tell that it is very well maintained and not overgrown next to the path. The small bridges for pedestrians to walk over along the path are a nice touch as well. So much of the trail is shaded and this was a particularly cool day which made me excited to come back in the fall and see the leaves change. I saw two deer while I was there both somewhat close to the path and completely visible, and I passed a handful of other people, enjoying the trail that day, including a handful of leashed dogs which are allowed on the trail. The trail is six or 7 miles long so definitely plan for a long day if you plan to do the whole Lake, but there are two loops that you can do in a shorter amount of time or you can do what I did and park at one of the parking lots do a small walk and then turn around and go back.

There's enough room to walk around the park for exercise, if people desire. There are benches and several trees. If your dog likes water, there is a gate to the lake next to the park which is fenced in with the fence running down to the lake. This allows your dog to go for a swim. It's a really nice park in the middle of Papillon. There is a small amount of parking (4-5 cars) and during my time there, 4 other dogs were in the park.

It is a very large area spanning from Blondo to the inner state with many different trails and paved paths. The reason I'm more of a 4 vs. a 5 is because paths aren't super clearly marked and it will change from paved, to wood chips, to gravel. A bonus if you need a place to hang with your pet is that they allow dogs!

If you are a camper considering Winsor Cove campground at Haworth Park in Bellevue, NE, you may…read morewant to think twice. We scheduled a week here because it is close to friends. After three days, we decided to change RV parks. Here are some of the issues: We paid almost $40 a night - there isn't a sewer at the site, very limited 50-amp spots, the water source is quite far from the RV pad (had to purchase a longer hose), no shower or indoor bathroom facilities (a couple of port-a-potties were available), you have to pay $10 to use the dump site and $25 for a pet fee, fire pits are available but are located a little far from your spot and very few trees. This campground was recently flooded and is trying to recover, but it not worth the cost. We moved to a much better site and paid half the price. The deciding factor for us was the rudeness of the camp host. We had an issue with a burst hose. He was very irate, yelling and threatening. After reading other Yelp reviews of this site (who reflected the same feelings), we wanted to make sure prospective campers knew what to expect.

Surprisingly it was somewhat busy with walkers and bikers and runners. The trail is beautiful and a mix of forest and lake as well as some surprisingly tough inclines! I noticed there were several different parking lots and at least one area to put boats in. There were plenty of restrooms along the trail which I thought was helpful too. The trails were clean as well besides a few spots of feces. My only complaint is the complete arrogance of a few cyclists, particularly of the older generation. They had zero regard for others and expected the pathway to be completely available for them despite being wide enough to accommodate opposite direction traffic.
