Omaha Parks Foundation

What We Do

The movement to provide exceptional recreation experiences in Omaha starts here! Realizing that the city’s general fund was not adequate to maintain, expand, and sustain the needs of our rapidly growing parks & recreation system, 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.

Interesting Info

Omaha has 240 parks that cover nearly 11,000 acres of parkland, providing many opportunities to be active.

City parks and open space improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen our communities, & make our cities and neighborhoods a more attractive place

In a time of high demand for government resources, the Omaha Parks Foundation is an independent 501(c)3 fulfilling the need for a public-private collaboration.
