Parks
Our goal is to have a park area within one-half mile walking distance of each residence in the community. We enjoy 131 parks in Lincoln with more than half of them identified as neighborhood and mini-parks. Parks and Recreation also cares for almost 4,000 acres of natural greenspace areas, 4 fenced dog parks and 2 skate parks. Click here for a list of park locations.
