Lincoln's Dog Runs!

In 2017, the Friends of the Dog Parks and the Lincoln Parks Foundation completed the private fundraising component for three new off-leash dog runs, and improvements to Rickman’s Run. 

The four dog runs in Lincoln are located at:

• Roper East Park (I-180 north of Cornhusker Hwy. This replaced the current Oak Lake facility)
• Mahoney Park (84th and Adams)
• Stransky Dog Run at Peterson Park (2200 Southwood Drive) 
• Rickman's Run at 3701 South 70th Street

Dogs and their companions now have off-leash runs to enjoy in each quadrant of our City!
