From pickleball to pollinators, Council Bluffs parks see several upgrades

In Council Bluffs, city parks are getting some upgrades. Some are already finished and others are still on the way. Cochran Park in central Council Bluffs on May 19 will host a grand re-opening celebrating improvements there and the First Ave Trail. First Ave Trail is a multi-use trail connecting downtown Omaha to downtown Council Bluffs. It sits where a railway once was. Improvements to Cochran Park will include new pickleball courts, a mini and contained soccer pitch and a baseball field. Some parts, including new playground equipment, are already complete.
