Omaha Parks Foundation

What We Do

As the City of Omaha has grown, so has the continued need for parks, trails, playgrounds, and recreation programs. Recognizing that the parks system is vital to improving the lives of ALL Omaha residents, enhancing economic development, and encouraging healthy lifestyles, the Omaha Parks Foundation (OPF) was created in 2010.

As a 501c3 charitable organization, the OPF enlists the help of individuals, corporate donors, and other charitable organizations in our efforts to enhance, preserve, and expand our city’s parks, programs (think summer camps, sports), trails, and community centers. We celebrate parks and their potential to make our community healthier, more connected, and Omaha a great place to live. We invite you to join us!

More information and ways to support the Omaha Parks Foundation can be found on our website www.omahaparksfoundation.org.
