Hanscom Park - Omaha, NE Area Guide

This charming neighborhood is home to Omaha's first park.

Walkable Family-Friendly Ideally Located Downtown Omaha

Hanscom Park is a neighborhood of firsts -- it contains Omaha's first city park (also Hanscom Park), it is considered Omaha's first suburb, and it features some of the city's major landmarks -- including the birthplace of President Gerald Ford. Hanscom Park dates back to 1854, when Colonel Sam Bayliss moved to the area. In 1872, Andrew J. Hanscom -- who had purchased land from Bayliss -- donated the land for the park. The area quickly became a suburb when an electric trolley connected the area with Downtown Omaha. Located just two miles from downtown, Hanscom Park is a popular neighborhood, featuring many historic mansions converted into apartment buildings. With I-80 and I-480 nearby, travel to Omaha's major landmarks and businesses is easy. Hanscom Park is bordered by the Omaha VA Medical Center to the north and Metropolitan Community College-South Omaha to the south. Nearby attractions include the Old Market (to the northeast) and the Henry Doorly Zoo (to the southeast).
