Parks in Omaha, Nebraska

This is a list of parks in Omaha, Nebraska. It includes cemeteries and golf courses. Most parks in Omaha are governed by the City of Omaha Parks and Recreation Department.〔(Omaha Parks and Recreation ). City of Omaha. retrieved 8/22/07.〕
==History==
In 1854 Alfred D. Jones drew four parks on the original map of Omaha City. They were called Jefferson Square, which was paved over by I-480; Washington Park, which is where the Paxton Block currently sits at North 16th and Farnam Streets; Capitol Square, where Omaha Central High School is now located, and; an unnamed tract overlooking the river with Davenport Street on the north, Jackson Street on the south, North 8th on the east and North 9th Street on the west.〔City of Omaha Board of Park Commissioners. (1912) ''Annual Report''. City of Omaha. p 4.〕 Jefferson Square lasted until 1969, when it was razed to make way for a new interstate in downtown Omaha. The riverfront from the interstate south to the headquarters of ConAgra Foods is now the Heartland of America Park.
Hanscom Park became Omaha's first park. Miller, Fontenelle, Elmwood and Riverview were Omaha's largest parks in 1920. (Riverview Park Zoo eventually became Henry Doorly Zoo.) Levi Carter Park was its largest, at . Other parks in the system that year were Bemis, Deer, Kountze Park, Curtis Turner, Harold Gifford, Mercer, Jefferson Square, Hixenbaugh, Burt playground, Bluff View, Spring Lake, Highland, McKinley, Clear View and Morton.〔Morton, J.S. and Watkins, A. ("Chapter XXXV: Greater Omaha," ) ''History of Nebraska: From the Earliest Explorations of the Trans-Mississippi Region''. Lincoln, NE: Western Publishing and Engraving Company. p. 831.〕
Omaha's boulevard system was designed to be part of the parks system in 1889 by renowned landscape architect Horace Cleveland.〔Morton, J.S. and Watkins, A. (1918) ("Chapter XXXV: Greater Omaha," ) ''History of Nebraska: From the Earliest Explorations of the Trans-Mississippi Region''. Lincoln, NE: Western Publishing and Engraving Company. p. 831.〕
