In today's world, families are becoming busier
and busier and their time is becoming ever
more precious. As families change, visitors
to Nebraska State Parks are changing as
well. While many visitors come for traditional
activities, many others want a higher sense
of adventure— a place to play that is close
to home but offers them something different
than what can be found in their backyard.
The Platte River Valley area between Lincoln
and Omaha, Nebraska, offers the Nebraska
Game and Parks Commission the opportunity
to provide the best of both worlds to visitors.
Eugene T. Mahoney and Platte River State
Parks (SPs) along with Schramm and Louisville
State Recreation Areas (SRAs) in the Platte
Valley provide an exciting playground to develop
a mix of traditional and innovative activities
that will attract both traditional park users and
new thrill seekers alike. This is a whole new
experience targeted at the next generation of
park goers.
The four-park complex will be the backbone of
this concept. More than one million residents
live within 60 miles of the Platte River Valley.
This population needs opportunities to relax,
vacation, and maybe even have a thrill. The
Outdoor Venture Parks will address the needs
of both traditional and new park guests, and
will meet the changing needs of visitors for
years to come.
