My dogs, Bailey and Blue Cheese Olive, give Omaha Dog Bar a 5/5 ⭐️ rating. They absolutely love Little Dog Hour on Fridays at noon. They smell all the smells, meet a ton of new friends (both human and canine), and the staff is so accommodating and friendly! It's a place where everybody knows your name (or at least your dog's name because let's be honest, dogs are more important). If you're looking for a safe space for your dog to run off leash, socialize, and get out of the house, this would be the place. They have a calendar of fun events, a bar with options to accommodate everyone, food, and of course options for your fur baby as well. We always have a blast!

Our three absolutely loved it, from the young to the old! We have a rescue pup that we're working on reactivity with so this is a perfect option to still get that energy out and gain confidence without getting stressed around other dogs. The acreage is perfect for dogs large and small and the fencing is very secure. So much for them to see and smell and trails lead all around the park. There are even some spots for the humans to sit and relax while the dogs go enjoy themselves. There were a few spots where the previous people hadn't cleaned up after their dogs, but that's absolutely no fault of the Bark Park and not really much of an inconvenience in my eyes, it happens! All around perfect hour and we can't wait to go back.

Our family did a leisurely foray down to the Mall and the Skate Ribbon last Tuesday to view the decor and the festivities. Beautiful twinkle lights and a giant, impressive tree. The Skate Ribbon was delightful with free Hot Chocolate and tons of silly laughter as all types of people tried their best to ice skate during their once a year outing! A great way to connect to community and fun in a difficult world. Strong recommend. Also tons of jolly dogs in Christmas sweaters making the season bright. Thanks to Omaha for the Happy Holidays!

I live in western Colorado and I am in Omaha several times a year and I always come to this park. It's a beautiful place to get some exercise. The path is smooth and rolling hills. It's a great place to Rollerblade, walk, run and bike. From what I hear the fishing is good and there's places for kids. The park has trails in the woods and even a sledding hill. I see deer and turkey here plus many types of birds and waterfowl. There's hardly any places as nice as this park anywhere in America
