History


Neighborhood History
In the late 1920’s, the 32nd Street area was marketed as a suburb for workers and their families who needed to commute to downtown Omaha, thanks to a streetcar system running north and south on 32nd Avenue. 
Today, HPNA is a community comprised of [#,###] homes, with an approximate population of [#,###]. Residents are drawn to HPNA’s beautiful, historic homes, tree-lined streets, historic trail and parks, local businesses [insert hyperlink to business directory], and small town neighborhood feel. Hanscom Park’s convenient location easily connects residents to downtown, midtown and the greater Omaha metropolitan area. However, Hanscom Park’s greatest asset is its residents who make the neighborhood a wonderful place to live, work and play. 

Hanscom Park History
One of the oldest parks in Omaha, Hanscom Park was donated to the city in October 1872 by Andrew J. Hanscom and James Medeath. According to records from the Omaha Public Library, noted landscape architect, H.W.S. Cleveland was hired to create a more natural look for the park, including the lagoon and flower beds.
The park has seen numerous improvements over the years. Today, Hanscom Park is home to a popular children’s swimming and recreation area, some of the city’s best indoor tennis courts, outdoor soccer, basketball and tennis courts, a city-run greenhouse, dog park, lagoon, brand new playground equipment and more than 50 acres of beautiful lawn and flower gardens. 
Our outstanding park also features a large pavilion available for daily rental. For information about renting the Hanscom Park Pavilion, contact the City of Omaha at 402-444-5920 or click here. 
At this time, Hanscom Park is currently undergoing construction to install green infrastructure throughout the park, including cascading bioswales, grassed swales, and other above-ground green infrastructure features to better manage area stormwater runoff from adjacent neighborhoods and within the park.

Field Club Trail History
Formerly an abandoned railroad bed, today the historic Field Club Trail is a quiet and scenic paved path that spans nearly two miles from Leavenworth Street to Vinton Street and is connected to the greater Omaha bike trail network through the South Omaha trail.
