About the Location

Natural Oasis

Situated in Lincoln, Nebraska, Taylor Park sprawls across 19.27 acres of green space south of 66th and O Streets. It provides a quick escape from the urban bustle without having to leave the city.

A charming stream meanders from south to north, cutting right through the middle of the park. There's something inherently calming about the sound of running water as you stroll along its banks - nature's own soundtrack in the midst of the city.

Blooms & Butterflies

If you're someone who appreciates bursts of color amidst the greenery, you'll enjoy the thoughtfully designed flowerbed areas around the park. These aren't just pretty to look at - they feature pollinator-friendly plantings that support local bees and butterflies.

It's kind of amazing to think about how these gardens contribute to Lincoln's urban ecosystem, creating little pockets of habitat right in the middle of the city.

Kid-Friendly Fun

Parents, take note: Taylor Park has a really solid playground that's especially great for the younger crowd. The sections with rubber mats are a thoughtful touch, giving you a bit less to worry about as your little ones - who might still be wobbly on their feet - explore and play.

The playground's design seems to naturally encourage kids to climb, explore, and burn off that seemingly endless energy that only children possess.

Neighborhood Hangout

Taylor Park is a place where people from all walks of life can enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're looking for space to toss a frisbee, a peaceful bench to read a book, or just some fresh air, there's room for everyone here.

The well-maintained grounds make it inviting for impromptu picnics, casual meetups, or solo wanderings. It's not the biggest or flashiest park in Lincoln - just a pleasant green space in the neighborhood.
