Welcome Randy!

As Lincoln’s largest park, Wilderness Park provides a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy, understand, and appreciate the value of a natural area within an urban setting. With its growing popularity and accessibility, the City of Lincoln recognizes the need to make it more user friendly, accessible and educational to anyone seeking solace and recreation.

The Community Forestry Fund at Lincoln Parks Foundation allows private individuals to contribute directly to the replanting of trees on public property in Lincoln, including street trees, park and golf course trees, and trees along our trails.

Near South Neighborhood Association is leading an effort to improve Peach Park in 2021. This project will include the renovation of the playground, the relocation of the basketball court, the addition of new amenities, and landscape improvements. We invite you to get involved and help restore Peach Park!

Join us as we remember Kelly Rae Atchison through a special project at Mahoney Park.

We're excited to work with you!
