Downtown Lincoln is home to several parks maintained by Lincoln Parks and Recreation. Like any public park, you're welcome to enjoy the space. But if the date matters you should reserve it through the parks department.
If you’re thinking about a public event you’d like to share with others, start with us. We can help you shape your idea, select the right location and help you navigate the process through Lincoln Parks & Recreation. Contact Randy Hawthorne, DLA's VP of Community Engagement, at randy@downtownlincoln.org to chat about your event.
We offer a limited number of sponsorships for events that align with our downtown activation goals. These can help offset costs such as permit fees, marketing and logistics. Special consideration is made to those who are members of DLA. Sponsorship decisions are made on a case-by-case basis depending on the event fit, timing and available resources.
You can find out more about the parks reservation process here.
