👍👍 One of my favorite photography spots! I love how well maintained the flowers are! Some of the benches are a little old, but I really enjoy this gem! It’s one of my favorite spots to bring clients! People often mention wedding, Beautiful, beautiful, nice, park, flowers, Great, gardens,

    Amazing park small but beautiful indeed. Great venue for wedding and photo shoots for any occasion. It has nice history. Worth walking on Stone paths, watching flower beds around, trees path, sundial, serpentine walkway, and a portico to overlook Missouri River but due to forest it can't be seen now. A good place for family picnic.

    Such a great place to have a wedding at. It's always well cared for and never has too many people around so it feels very private! Highly recommend as a venue for weddings!!!

    This was once a beautiful place with fantastic rose gardens, Now since Jean Stothert has been our so called mayor for what seems like an endless eternity the place has gone to Hell and is nothing but neglected, they tore out the rose garden they do NOTHING to fix the GIANT holes in the street, they have cut down most of the beautiful evergreens Haven't replaced any of the 50 plus trees they hacked down. Typical of Jean Stothert She cares NOTHING about South Omaha except pandering to the Hispanic community for votes.

    This garden is breathtakingly beautiful. I go here to relax in a quiet place and look at the flowers. They are always well maintained. It would be a gorgeous place for a wedding.

    The park itself was great, couldn't have asked for a prettier spot in downtown Omaha for our wedding. The city department to work with the parks was a little disorganized. One particular woman was quite rude to my wife over the phone, and they didn't do the best job of communicating. But, keep in mind you're renting a city park, not a bonafide wedding venue. The service isn't going to be the same.

    We went here to do wedding invite pictures and they turned out amazing! Such a lovely place! Really quiet, serene and gorgeous! I can't wait to go back and see the flowers in full bloom! I really enjoyed it! There were so many places to take amazing pictures at and an amazing location for a wedding. I highly recommend it for any pictures you need taken for any occasion! It's beautiful. You won't be disappointed.

    I'm sure this used to be a very nice little park, but the city has let it completely fall into disrepair. Omaha P&R should be embarrassed about how they've let this go.
