Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This area is closed for renovation. The pictures of the future look great, but I believe will not be completed until 2022.

Nice walk along the riverfront. Pretty views and fairly easy walk. Only issue we had was there is a fair amount of construction going on around the area. We parked at the old market and walked. I wouldn’t advise this if it’s dark or going to be dark soon. The area we had to pass through was a tad sketchy.

Nice park to sit down and relax in. Our favorite spot was the bench with the large fountain in front of us. There are many ducks and geese there who are used to being fed by people. They will come close to you, but won't bother you.
The surrounding area is under construction as the city is building a huge new river walk, but the area around the pond is still nice to visit.

Like the title says, it is just a great place to take a stroll, see the fountains, see the sculptures and just enjoy an afternoon.

Lovely, smooth and well-maintained sidewalk trail system takes visitors around the lake; nice stroll, really cool to see Missouri River from the small overlook. Would be great if there was some signage about the park/ trail system/ history, etc. Maybe I missed that, as I didn't walk the entire circle.

We went during the day to see the fountain, then went back at night to view it lighted. The brochures and web site say it is going until 11pm, HOWEVER the park is locked at 9pm.
There was a good enough view from the street in the dark.

The Heartland of America Park is a gem in downtown Omaha. It offers an escape from the hubbub of the city with plenty of walking paths and walkways. There is a lake with fountains, a water feature and beautiful landscaping. Note - this is not a playground and there's no a lot of stuff for kids. There is access to the river and for train buffs, there is the occasional train along the river.
Great place to get away from it all and spend a relaxing afternoon.

This beautiful park offered a safe walk just a short way from the Old Market. We were hoping to see the military memorials; however, it appears that they are undergoing renovations and weren't on display.

How long is the walk around the waterfall or fountain

I went there and saw the view of the lake and it was good with the lighthouses alongside it and the fountain and by the lake and where you can see the water shooting up and especially with the waterfalls on the northwest side of the park. Then you have the ducks and geese and that are there and plus you see gondola's on the lake there too.
