Hefflinger Dog Park

There are several areas for dogs at this location. Parking is easy but the parking lot is in bad shape. Most dogs and owners are well behaved. At every dog park, you still experience owners who choose not to pick up after their pet. Itcwould be nice if there were more disposal areas here. Bring your own water and container for your dog, especially on warm days.

This is a wonderful park, except for the people who don't follow the rules. Brought my two cavaliers. An extremely hostile dog was being socialized in the large dog area which meant no one could go in there. So all the dogs were in the small dog area. Including 2 pit bull mixes (probably 50 lbs) who were not muzzled, but on leashes - the owner turned them loose. Which meant we and 3 other people had to go to the gravel area for a few minutes at least. I guess the city can do nothing or provide supervision occasionally. I guess people just don't follow the rules any place any more.

Huge amounts of space for dogs to run around, and separated into multiple sections with gates if your dog isn't getting along with others but still needs their space to enjoy. There is even a small dog area for little fur-babies to run around without getting scared. Multiple trash cans around to throw your doggie doo-doo away and tons of tennis balls that people leave behind.

We have frequented Hefflinger with our two family dogs over the past 12 years. It is close to our home and provides a very large area for the dogs to run.I see some comments about irresponsible owners. I guess I assume that goes with anywhere you go in life, there are always going to be people who don't follow the rules, but for the most part, we are happy. You always have the owner who brings toys or treats and I get that is frustrating. My bigger gripe is probably how many small dogs I see on the big dog side, to which I say take your own risk!Because this was once a landfill, there are definitely some issues with the land settling. I appreciate the effort to utilize the space, but if you aren't careful navigating the parking lot, you could do some major damage to your car - there are what appears to be larger "sinkholes" and that is my reason for 3 stars.There is also a very nice playground adjacent to the park so nice perk if you bring kids along. This will remain our go-to spot for the future, but would appreciate the city of Omaha giving the parking lot some much needed love!

This park is built over an old landfill, and was once a baseball field. Over time, the land settled, and it became too hilly to remain a good option for baseball, so, the dog park was born. I was really impressed with this dog park after our initial visit. I am a regular at Hanscom Dog park due to the close proximity to my house, but have also been curious about Hefflinger out West.I was finally able to make a visit on a Monday at around 3pm with PERFECT weather conditions (63 and no wind, sunny and blue skies) and had such a great time. The organization of the park is similar to Hanscom-there are three enclosed pens and one is for small dogs and the rest are for large dogs or all dog sizes. Trashcans, trash bags, and water fountains are present in each of the pens. There is seating for dog owners if they want to relax as well.What I like about this park in comparison to Hanscom is:1. Flatter terrain, and easier for my dog to run2. more grass, less powdery dirtWhen I have time, this is certainly my park of choice to drive to. I still love Hanscom, but sometimes it's nice to mix it up, and having a less dirty dog after an hour of romping is certainly a bonus.

Multiple very very large fenced in areas for dogs to run around in. Having just moved here from Northern Virginia, I was pleasantly surprised because there is absolutely nothing like this there. There were some mud puddles I needed to keep my dog out of, but over all very nice and I will definitely go back.

Great place for big dogs to run at full speed. All the other dogs seemed nice and owners keep a close eye to avoid fights/injuries. Lots of things for dogs to climb.

good for training my dog to get along with other dogs, owners are very friendly and good to talk to !! will be coming here a lot more to get my pup used to other pups !

LOCK YOUR CAR!!! My purse was stolen out of my car. I know this is not the "dog parks" fault. I honestly thought this was a decent neighborhood, but it is not.

There's lots of space for your dog to run and play. We took our dog and he had fun catching his frisbee through the field. We also got exercise walking around inside. The only thing I did not like was the lack of trash cans and poop bag stations bc we also found lots of dog crap scattered around.
