Acres: 8.05

The free sprayground will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily from Memorial Day through Labor Day. This site also features a new playground and plaza area, updated site furnishings and irrigation.

 "The sprayground is unlike anything else in the City, and we are anxious to have families in the surrounding neighborhoods enjoy it," Mayor Beutler said. "This will be a great complement to Union Plaza.."

The project began in 2006, when a committee met to develop a master plan for the park. Changes were necessary because of the Antelope Valley Project construction and channel alignment on the west side of the park. Park construction began in early 2008 and was open for public use in August 2008.

Funding for the renovation of Trago Park was provided by City of Lincoln Antelope Valley funds (Keno revenue), Community Development Block Grant funds, the Lincoln Cares program and the Cornhusker Kiwanis Club. The Cornhusker Kiwanis Club also is volunteering to assist with landscape establishment and maintenance throughout the fall.
