Union Plaza is one of Lincoln's most unconventional parks with one play structure-a giant climbing dome and nature surrounding it. Kids and adults alike can spend hours exploring. I adore Union Plaza-it is one of my favorite parks. I love the hidden statues, the untraditional playground and the water cutting through the greenery. My kids have spent hours here-it sparks their imagination. If you’ve never been-put it on your list.
