Neligh Park Foundation Inclusive Playground and Neligh Park Upgrades
In May 2024, a new 3-piece inclusive playground was installed in Riverside Park next to the Pavilion and picnic shelters. The new playground equipment provides all children with all physical abilities and mobilities with an opportunity to actively play together. Fundraising and grant applications are in motion for the final 4-piece inclusive playground equipment to complete the project.
In January 2026, the City of Neligh received notice of award of $210,000 from the Nebraska Game & Parks Land Water & Conservation Fund for four park amenities with two new features in Riverside Park and two new features in Russell Park. In Riverside Park the new amenities include the final 4-piece inclusive playground equipment and two new adjustable basketball hoops and fencing. In Russell Park the new amenities include a dog park with separate enclosures for small and large dogs and the second 9-hole frisbee (disc) golf course to complete an 18-hole course between the two parks. The City of Neligh is currently awaiting for a series of reviews as part of the grant process and anticipates seeking bids for the equipment and contract labor for fall 2026 or spring 2027.
