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!
Basic (Publically Funded) Dog Run Improvements at Roper Park East, Mahoney Park and Peterson Park:
· Separate fenced areas for large dogs and small dogs
· Perimeter fencing and gates
· Parking facilities including ADA stalls
