New on our website! 🌳💚

We’re excited to introduce our new Stories section, where we’re sharing the many ways Lincoln’s parks make a difference in the lives of people throughout our community.

From everyday moments to meaningful memories, these stories highlight the impact our parks have on the people who use and love them.

🐾 Honoring Our Four-Legged Heroes

We're proud to share the renovation of the K9 Memorial at Veterans Memorial Garden. This project preserves a special place of remembrance dedicated to the military working dogs who served with honor and the handlers who trusted them with their lives.

We are grateful to our supporters who made these improvements possible and invite you to visit and remember these remarkable heroes. 🇺🇸
