The family of four-year-old Dominik "Dom" Walters, who died in 2018, has added a memorial pavilion and plaques at Dom's Park, the playground at Chalco Hills Recreation Area created in his memory.

The pavilion and plaques honor additional loves ones and provide more space for local families to gather.

"We wanted to give families more room to come together and make memories at a place that means so much to our family.”
- Ryan Walters

Congratulations to Lynne Jones of Omaha, the final winner of the NRD Recreation Exploration. She gets to go on a $100 Scheels shopping spree!

She visited Chalco Hills Recreation Area and "saw some deer and a parent bald eagle."

Congrats again and we hope to see you exploring Nebraska's NRD recreation areas again next year!

Update at Chalco Hill Recreation Area.

What a difference a week makes. ☀️

- The boat dock and accessible fishing pier are open. Crews are working to remove mud and other debris so please use caution. ⚠️

- Some trails still have quite a bit of water, while others have little to no water but are muddy. 🚴‍♀️

- Trail near the 156th St. bridge is still flooded.

Please note that our crews will be working with machinery on the trails, so you will be able to see them, but they won’t necessarily be able to see you. Please be extra vigilant. 👀

Enjoy the beautiful weather!
