We had an amazing time celebrating the groundbreaking ceremony for Cunningham Commons! It is being introduced as a vibrant, year-round destination focused on recreation, education, and community connection for people of all ages and abilities.
The project will include a four-season community hub featuring accessible restrooms, flexible classroom space, concessions, and a spacious covered area for gatherings. Outdoor amenities will highlight a nature-themed playground, a bike park with mountain biking trails, and three new fishing piers to enhance access to the lake.
This initiative is the result of a collaboration effort between Lake Cunningham, Omaha Parks & Rec, Mayor John W. Ewing, Jr., the City of Omaha, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers all working together to create more inclusive, free outdoor opportunities for the community. Thank you to all who made this project possible!
