We realize that the very nature of hosting events outdoors involves working around the elements. However, because of the intense planning involved, our events are held rain or shine. In the event of severe weather prior to an event, i.e. torrential rain, tornadoes, and/or severe winds, the event may be postponed or canceled. We ask that you use sound judgment when entering the outdoor facility and please note that attendees participate at their own risk. Staff will direct patrons to shelter in the event of severe weather during an event. All event cancellations will be posted online.

Private facility rentals are available through the Papillion Recreation Department. For more information, please contact the Papillion Recreation Department at (402) 597-2041. To view our brochure please click here.
