In the past century, Lincoln's park and recreation system has grown to become one of the best in the nation. Yet many don't realize that every day, countless number of people of all  ages enjoy Lincoln's 125 parks, 128 miles of trails, seven recreation centers and five golf courses. Studies show that many do not understand the value this brings to our community's quality of life. We feel a responsibility to close that gap and to inspire more people to learn why a quality parks and recreation system is fundamental to youth development, active living, neighborhoods and families, special places and community events, and economic development. Most of all, we want to inspire you to enjoy the opportunities we offer. To do this in a cost-efficient and accessible way, we've launched a new Web site. Our new Web site will connect you to everything you'd like to know about parks and recreation in Lincoln.

You can find a park, see a trails map, check pool hours, sign up for a tee time, buy a tribute brick and register for one of our many programs. Virtually everything about our parks and recreation system is here at your fingertips. We hope to add even more interactive features to add convenience and save paper!

As our City grows, so does demand for beautiful public places. Even with shrinking City budgets, our staff remains committed to being accessible to you through our new Web site and providing high quality facilities and recreation programs that everyone can enjoy.
