Upgrades completed at state park and recreation areas across Nebraska

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has upgraded electrical campsite offerings, replaced aging water systems and other infrastructure, and upgraded or replaced shower houses and restrooms at dozens of state parks and recreation areas across Nebraska.
    Additionally, new features at state parks including lodging, an aquatic center, an interactive stream and more will provide park visitors with new experiences.
    Since 2014, Nebraska Game and Parks has made improvements at parks statewide, including:
    Upgrading or replacing restrooms and showers at 34 park areas;
Installing electrical upgrades to campsites at nine park areas;
Upgrading water systems at Enders Reservoir, Fort Kearny and Long Pine state recreation areas, as well as at Platte River State Park and Indian Cave State Park.
Parks statewide—155 new picnic tables made from recycled tires were distributed across 19 park areas. The tables were purchased in part with a grant from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality through the Waste Reduction and Recycling Incentive Program, which seeks to create a market for recycled tires in Nebraska.
