Walnut Creek Leash Free Dog Park — Attraction in Papillion

This is a great place to take your pups! I’ve taken mine here. Though, it is big with a lot of foliage, so you might want to keep an eye on your dogs. However, the fence is in great condition, and even my 9 pound rat can’t get through the darn thing. He loves bouncing around in the tall grass and going on the back trails there. Although my dog hates the water, I have seen other dogs swim in the pond there. Across from the pond is a camping ground that is NOT fenced in, so make sure your dog doesn’t go all the way across and escape, lol. And beware of ticks here, since there is a lot of foliage.

With todays social distancing the two benches were full so nowhere to sit while my dogs ran. I am not sure where else I could post this where someone will see...

We are big dog park people! And, this place has so much potential. However, I would avoid it at all costs if your dog has any chance of getting in the water. It is stagnant, nasty water. The area is infested with ticks and disease. There is absolutely no way to easily keep your dog away from the water and if you're not in the mood for a swim day you should just avoid this park at all costs. We moved here from Colorado and were very excited about this dog park at first. However, it does not get much maintenance attention and the mud is overwhelming. Sorry friends🙁. Hopefully someday someone in Omaha will see the joy that nice dog parks can provide in a community, however, until...
