Grand Terrace Park

Location and Overview

Found in Lincoln's Amber Hills neighborhood, Grand Terrace Park sits near the intersection of 84th Street and Highway 2. This cozy green space is a great retreat for locals looking to enjoy some fresh air and recreation without venturing far from home.

Play Area

Kids' eyes light up when they spot the multi-level play structure that dominates the playground. With various climbing challenges that beckon young adventurers, it's a natural magnet for energetic little ones. The structure features two different slides - great for siblings of different ages or friends with varying courage levels!

Parents can breathe a little easier knowing that underneath all this climbing and sliding fun lies a surface of rubber tiles instead of traditional woodchips. These cushioned tiles not only soften any tumbles but also make the playground more accessible for everyone.

Recreational Facilities

Grand Terrace isn't just for the jungle gym crowd. The basketball court invites impromptu pickup games and solo shooting practice alike. Need a break? Several picnic tables scattered around the park provide a wonderful spot to enjoy a packed lunch or gather with neighbors for an outdoor chat.

You'll also find a drinking fountain on-site - a thoughtful touch that means you can leave the water bottles at home during your park adventures. It's especially welcome after working up a sweat on the basketball court or chasing kids around the playground.

Shelter

Nearby the playground stands a practical shelter that represents command central for many park visits. This shaded haven offers a fantastic vantage point for parents and caregivers to relax while keeping watchful eyes on playground activities. On sunny Nebraska days, this covered spot becomes particularly valuable as a respite from the heat while still enjoying the outdoor atmosphere.
