TIM WAKE MEMORIAL PARK
Tim Wake Memorial Park
Tim Wake Memorial Park is a carefully planned green-space intended to serve today's wellness needs. Highlights include:
+ a preserved Great Plains Shelterbelt, which has provided environmental benefits for generations. The various mature trees provide a unique benefit for a new neighborhood.
+ three acres of mature trees and native, sustainable plantings and landscaping which will provide habitat for wildlife, clean the water and air, and enhance the value of Fairway Woods homes.
+ the Dick O'Dell Memorial Trail, providing tree shaded wellness opportunities and connectivity for Fairway Woods. This trail is intended to connect to the Seward Community Golf Course and the Seward walking trail loop in the future.
+ playground equipment coordinated with the wooded setting and allowing all ages to enjoy this outdoor space.
+ an attractive picnic shelter for gatherings with family and friends.
+ an ADA accessible walking path and playground equipment.

The City of Seward completed installation of the playground equipment and picnic shelter in 2020. The state-of-the-art playground equipment was funded jointly by the City of Seward and the Wake Charitable Foundation.
