About the Park
Dogs that need real running room do well at Hefflinger, where more than seven acres of fully fenced off-leash space spread out along Heflinger Park Road in northwest Omaha's 68164 area. A separate small-dog section keeps little ones away from the big-dog scrum, and a dedicated training area gives handlers a spot to work on recall without interruption. The City of Omaha runs it as a free public park, open daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Listed amenities beyond the basics are limited, so bring your own water in summer; Nebraska heat is no joke on open ground. For sheer space to throw a ball, seven-plus acres is hard to beat.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Hefflinger Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Best of all, Hefflinger Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
