Omaha Parks Foundation Projects
The Omaha Parks Foundation recognizes the financial challenges of the Parks & Recreation Department, and presents an opportunity to gain support for special park projects that cannot be addressed by the city budget. The Foundation enables public-private partnerships, a hallmark of cities with premier park systems.
As it evolves, the Foundation will help fund a variety of projects in three major areas:
Community-Based Programs
The Omaha Parks Foundation will help fund quality programs that enrich the lives of children, adults and seniors at the City’s parks and 16 community centers, including:
• Citywide sports leagues for youth and adults
• Summer programs for children through Hummel Park and the Sun Dawgs
Park Infrastructure, Revitalization & Development
The Omaha Parks Foundation will help to support projects to beautify and enhance the parks and park facilities, including:
• Renovating youth sports fields
• Planting new trees to replace those that are damaged or diseased
• Developing and maintaining public art
Neighborhood & Special Interest Parks
The Omaha Parks Foundation partners with neighborhood associations and volunteers across the city on projects for specific interest parks. Projects may include:
• Renovating neighborhood playgrounds
• Developing and maintaining dog parks
• Barrier-free parks for the physically disabled
