Orchard Park

Park Overview

Found in a residential pocket of Omaha, Orchard Park stretches across about 8 acres of community-friendly space. This neighborhood space offers a little something for everyone right in the backyard of local residents. While the park is generally kept in good shape, you might spot some litter here and there on busier days - just something to be aware of as you explore.

Walking Paths & Landscaping

Paved walking paths meander through grassy expanses, meant for your morning jog or an evening stroll to clear your head. The park's mature trees create welcome pools of shade during Nebraska's warmer months and add a touch of natural beauty throughout the seasons. Various plants dot the landscape, adding splashes of color and texture that change with the passing months.

Recreational Facilities

If you've got kids in tow, the playground area might not be the biggest you've ever seen, but it offers all the essentials - climbing structures, swings, and play equipment that will keep the little ones entertained.

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the basketball courts and tennis courts, which are well-maintained and ready for everything from casual shootarounds to more competitive matches with friends.

Seasonal Attractions

Perhaps the crown jewel of Orchard Park is its sprayground - a water play area that comes alive from May through September (weather permitting, of course). On those sticky summer days, there's nothing better than watching kids dash through the water sprays, giggling and cooling off. This feature alone makes the park a summer must-visit for local families.

Open Spaces

The park's green spaces deserve special mention - these versatile areas transform into whatever you need them to be. Spread out a blanket for a lazy Sunday picnic, toss a frisbee around, or simply find a quiet spot to read a book under the open sky. These flexible spaces host everything from impromptu tag games to community gatherings.

Amenities

Note that there are no public restrooms available in the park. This is worth keeping in mind when planning your visit, especially if you're bringing children or intending to stay for several hours.
