Diverse Clinton thrives with dedicated community leadership

The northeast Lincoln neighborhood of Clinton embodies diversity. Not only are its families from around the world, but its shops and restaurants also reflect those varied heritages. Dating to the early 1900s, Clinton has developed into a collection of cultures with “residents from more than 20 countries,” says Matt Kirkland, owner of Giving Realty and a Lincoln real estate agent for over 20 years. The Clinton Neighborhood Association, a volunteer-run non-profit, looks after the needs of some of the community's residents, launching such initiatives as clean-up days and a summer nutrition program for kids who ordinarily rely on school-served meals, working with educators, police and other organizations. "When they want to start something new in Clinton, you can bet it will succeed,” Kirkland said.

City parks and historic cross-country trails offer unique outdoor experiences

Pentzer Park is the smallest city park in Clinton, located right in the middle of the neighborhood. A recently updated playground is the centerpiece of the park, which also features picnic shelters and walking trails. The largest park in Clinton is Fleming Fields Recreational Sports Park, which, thanks to management by the University of Nebraska at Lincoln Campus Recreation, offers four baseball fields with connected bullpens and concession space. It also offers a roomy playground and flower gardens. The MoPac Trail is built alongside an abandoned Missouri Pacific Railroad corridor that runs 26 miles from Lincoln to Wabash, Nebraska. The trail is made of crushed-stone that wind through prairie, woodland and farmland. Mostly flat with expansive open vistas, this is a favorite hiking destination for Lincolnites.

Husker football games rival local sports venues for entertainment near Clinton

Memorial Stadium is home to the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers and their 85,000 fans, known as The Sea of Red. After home games, fans celebrate along the streets of Haymarket, the downtown district surrounding the stadium. Nearby Madsen’s Bowling and Billiards has been a favorite neighborhood gathering spot since 1963. The International Quilt Museum houses the world's largest publicly held quilt collection. The narratives told here weave stories about Lincoln's history, fiber arts around the world and early American women’s primitive artwork.

Bike lanes link to UNL's main campus

Clinton is immediately adjacent to University of Nebraska's main campus, which means traffic can get difficult to navigate on college football game days. Bike lanes link Penzer and Lintel parks, along with surrounding neighborhoods and the university. Lincoln Airport is just six miles west. Drivers can make the trip in less than 15 minutes with Lincoln’s typically minimal traffic. While residents often walk and bike to get around Clinton, cars and city buses are the most popular form of transportation. StarTran’s North 27 route has about ten stops from north to south through Clinton.
