Pocras Park

A Hidden Neighborhood Green

Tucked away near the intersection of South 28th Street and South Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, Pocras Park is one of those charming little green spaces that makes a neighborhood feel like home. At just 0.73 acres, this pocket park might be small in size, but it offers a wonderful outdoor retreat for those living in the surrounding Country Club neighborhood.

Playground Fun

Kids will find a cozy play area that has just enough to keep the little ones entertained. There are two slides for those thrilling moments of joy, four swings (including two specially designed for the tiniest adventurers), and a classic see-saw that brings back nostalgic playground memories.

The playground sits on a black mat surface that often becomes an impromptu canvas for neighborhood children armed with colorful chalk - adding a touch of creativity to your visit.

Room to Run

Beyond the playground equipment, you'll discover an open field that's meant for burning off extra energy. It's nothing fancy - just a nice patch of green where kids can chase each other, toss a ball around, or simply run free. The layout is particularly parent-friendly, making it easy to keep an eye on your little explorers while they play.

Picnic Possibilities

Perhaps the crown jewel of this modest park is its gazebo-style shelter with two picnic tables. When the Nebraska sun is beaming down, this shaded haven offers a fantastic spot for a family lunch, catching up with neighbors, or simply taking a breather with a good book.

Good to Know

Being primarily a neighborhood hangout, you'll usually find street parking without much trouble. Just note that the park doesn't have public restrooms, so you might want to plan shorter visits or prepare accordingly.

What Pocras Park lacks in size, it makes up for in community spirit - it's one of those special places where neighbors become friends and children make memories that last a lifetime.
