Village Of Cedar Creek

200 East B Street
402-234-7856

The Cedar Creek Village Park, located north of the railroad tracks, covers 20 acres of land. Additions to the Park since 2000 are:
The playground equipment was purchased entirely by donations and grants from the Peter Kiewit Foundation and Burlington Railroad. No taxpayer money was used for the project and all labor was volunteer. The Pavilion was built in 2003 using Keno money and a donation from Ash Grove Cement Plant. A dusk to dawn light and underground wiring was donated by OPPD. Nine picnic tables were built by volunteers.

In 2006 a Memorial Park was started on village property located at the intersection of Platteview Drive and Cedar Drive. The property overlooks the Platte River. A memorial bench was donated by the Baker family, and trees have been planted. The project is ongoing.

The flower gardens at the Park and at Village Hall, and also the Street Trees between the bridge and park were all purchase through an $8,000 grant from the Community Enhancement Program, a cooperative effort of the Nebraska Department of Roads, the Nebraska Forest Service and the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum. Improvements to the area in 2007 will be to replant at the village hall and to replace village signs at village hall. Purchase of new signs will be funded by previous sales of the Village Cookbook and Memorials.
