Schwartzkopf Park

Pocket Paradise Near the Tracks

Tucked away at Southwest 1st and L Streets, Schwartzkopf Park is a charming mini green space near Lincoln's vibrant Haymarket district. At just 0.4 acres, it's definitely on the cozier side of Lincoln's park offerings, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in character.

One of its unique draws? The park sits right alongside the railroad tracks, making it something of a cozy park for train enthusiasts. If you're someone who finds joy in watching locomotives rumble by, you've found your spot.

Neighborhood Haven

This little patch of green primarily serves the surrounding neighborhood, offering residents a breath of fresh air without having to venture far from home. Like all public parks in the city, it falls under the careful stewardship of Lincoln Parks & Recreation.
