I don't recall ever seeing a sign at any parks in Lincoln. Not saying they aren't there. I could see them putting one sign at an obscure entrance and calling it good.
NE Bull:
I thought I read somewhere the city 'banned' CCW in the parks. I will try and find the ordinance.
AAllen:
I don't know about the parks but I know they have the trails posted.

There used to be a Lincoln ordinance banning firearms in parks, but I can not seem to find it now. Regardless, with the passage of the new state law prohibiting cities/towns from having laws more restrictive than state CCW law, the Lincoln ordinance would be null and void for CHP holders.

The ordinance is still there, and would be null and void for CHP holders, but I don't think that will stop them from trying to post no weapons signs in the parks
