Overview
The approximately 191-acre park is best known for its lakes which are restocked twice a year with rainbow trout for fishing. The park has two playgrounds, a baseball and soccer field, a tennis court, a picnic shelter, restrooms, and serves as a trailhead for Iowa Riverfront Trail.
Exciting improvements are also coming soon, including a new expanded boat-themed playground, additional picnic shelter, accessible rubber surfacing, and a new trail connection into the park. Big Lake Park is also home to one of Council Bluffs’ Art-in-the-Park signs.
