Confirmed from Ta-Ha-Zouka Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park offering facilities for softball, sand volleyball, horseshoes & disc golf, plus a playground.
What runners say about Ta-Ha-Zouka Park
“Nice clean complex, and friendly local people.”
“They have done a lot of work here over the last few years and this park is absolutely gorgeous!”
“Also lots of shade and bleachers for those hot Nebraska afternoons.”
Beautiful big park, playgrounds, baseball fields, camping area. Beautiful adult trees to prove shade, big fishing lake. Great place to take your dog for a walk. So many beautiful geese, even found a nest. Great park to visit, have family gatherings or just any get together. Picnic tables awnings for gatherings.
Second stay at Ta-Ha-Zouka. Great stop. $18 for RV site. Only electric at sites. Water provided at both ends of the camp and a dump site on your way out. Women's restroom shower temp is 'cold' - which feels good on a hot day. The men's runs warmer. Nice path to run or walk dogs. Ample shade.
