Benson Park

This park feels like it's straight from a movie scene. Having grown up in a small town, moving to the big city made me miss the charm of those intimate parks. Here, you see people getting into a game of basketball on a pristine court, families strolling by the large pond, watching geese bask in the sun, or searching for their afternoon meal. Kids are everywhere, tossing footballs, while the little ones conquer the huge playground. Even adults are letting loose, revisiting their childhood on the swings. Everywhere you look, there are smiles, laughter, and a symphony of shared memories. I'm truly thankful that in this fast-paced world, we still find moments for park afternoons, especially with gems like Benson Park around.

By far, one of my favorite Parks in Omaha to hang out at. Not only does it have a breathtaking scenery, but a water fountain, plenty of benches, tables, parking spaces, etc. Definitely a pleasurable experience.

Nice park for a summer barbecue or picnic. There are lots of grills and benches surrounding a small lake in the middle. The grills and benches are very close to the parking area so you wont have issues carrying your picnic equipment. There are walking trails around the park as well as a kids playground.

The ducks were pretty and cute and the park is being kept up, got a park and water park but the water is not working. Not to busy and everyone was nice. Good place for rollerblading and skating if wanted. The water could be cleaned in the pond tho a little bit.

Perfect place for a quick walk/jog either by yourself or with your dog. Plenty of green space and parking. The water does look kind of sketchy so personally I wouldn’t cast there, however there were people fishing at the pond there. Plenty of geese walking around and you might get to see some turtles sunbathing. There is an aquatic park for the kiddos and it was pretty busy. Overall no complaints at this park. :)
