Lincoln, Nebraska, has several nice parks, better known parks than Roper. However, I decided to rent Roper Park all day for $100. We probably could have gotten the shelter we did without renting it, but I felt good about donating money to Lincoln Parks and Recreation. One needs to be sure to enter the park from West of 180, 3rd Street, since the larger parking lot, rest rooms, playground, and shelters are on that side. The East entrance (9th street) has a playground and parking lot only. Shelter #2, on the West side, holds up to 75 people. There are restrooms and a playground very close. We had a group of around 40 people and enjoyed the relative privacy (occasionally, frisbee golf players pass by) of the shelter. Electricity is available, if one stops by the Lincoln Parks and Recreation office to pick up a key to unlock the electrical box. A refundable $20 deposit is necessary. Shelter #1 is for around 35 people and a bit more isolated from the playground and the restrooms. Some of us enjoyed the walking/running trail which allows one to choose both shorter and longer paths. Playing a bit of Frisbee golf is also fun.
