Hefflinger Park — Attraction in Omaha

This is the park I go to the most...I used to be disappointed in the upkeep of the area, but since CoVID they've done a good job here. There are several gated off sections with tons of space...people generally don't follow the 10 person max limit, but there is so much space I felt safe even if triple the amount showed up. I'm not sure what you can do about the people who don't follow the rules and bring un-neutered dogs, or dogs too young etc...but it really only becomes a problem when a dog is too aggressive and the owner is unable or unwilling to control them or leave.

I have a chihuahua and took him to the small dog side of the dog park wasn't even there for 10 minutes and he was able to slip under the gate on both gates to enter the grass area and ran all the way to 108th and maple I had to chase him the entire way thanks to a good samaritan who stopped her car to get him I got my dog back. I just think that the gate should go all the way to the ground so that us people who have small dogs don't have to worry about our dogs getting out I will probably not take him back to this park and take him to tranquility dog park there gates are more secure just went there because it was closer to where I was and had...

It smells like urine for the first 100 meters as you walk in, it has parking cones literally dumped in swamp water. This place is a dump, literally, a collapsing dump.

The people I have encountered there tend to congregate under the parks one tree on a picnic table while not controlling so much as letting their dogs run unattended. If you are from a city with a well run and regulated dog park (Lincoln for example) with informed owners you are best to stay away. There are lots of places in the city where you can stretch a dogs legs without encountering lack of owner knowledge...
