Highway 370 and Payne Drive
Bellevue Nebraska
Park Size: 153 Acres
Just a bit south of Omaha, Nebraska, Haworth Park in Bellevue offers camping, Missouri River access, and a playground, among other things. Many older trees enhance the quality of this park.
Note: Hayworth Park is not the correct spelling of this park, it is Haworth, without the letter y, although it is pronounced Hayworth.
A playground is located near the camping area. This campground offers 109 trailer spaces, and 20 tent spaces. This campground has: water, electricity,trailer dumping station, flush toilets, fire grates, drinking water, boat ramp, fishing, and showers.
The nearby Missouri River is scenic, and adds appeal to this location. However, the proximity of this river to Haworth Park can cause flooding problems in the park if there has been too much rain.
There is a nice trail that runs along the Missouri River, with benches if you want to sit and enjoy the view.
If you feel energetic, the Bellevue Loop Trail can be accessed from the park. The Bellevue Loop Trail is listed on the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce website as being ten miles in length.
Having ridden only a portion of this trail (on bicycle) , we found it to be fairly level, wide, and smooth. The portion we were on was mainly farmland, with little shade, and would be a nice place to see just how fast you can go on a bicycle.
This trail, or at least the section we rode, had no benches, nor were there any bathrooms along the trail. However, near the trailhead at Haworth Park one will find these, if needed.
Overall, Hayworth Park as quite nice, and it must be added that this park has more bathrooms than expected, and most of them are better quality than will be found in Omaha city parks.
