Ta Ha Zouka Park consists of 99 acres along the Elkhorn River. There is a successful incorporation of the old and the new at this location. Included in the original park boundaries are facilities built back in the WPA days from 1936 to 1943.
The old park area is heavily shaded by many stately old trees and the focal point is the large lagoon, left over from the days when the Elkhorn River flowed through the area where the park is now located Also in the original park area there are 4 rental cabins, 2 large picnic shelters, 1 sand volleyball court, 1 lighted official softball field, bathrooms at two locations, picnic tables, barbecue grills canoe access to the Elkhorn River, fishing opportunities at the river and the lagoon and a public campground located between the river and the lagoon.
In the summer of 2004, the lagoon was renovated to improve water quality, fishing, aquatic plant life and aesthetics. It was restocked with fish and fishing is allowed but not encouraged at this time.
A new off-leash dog recreation area and the trail head to
the Cowboy Trail area available for the public to use. Athletic facilities have been built on new additions to the park and they include a horseshoe court complex, softball complex and youth ballfield complex.
