This historic Omaha park, with wooded bluffs and Missouri River vistas, was redeveloped to retain its wilderness feeling while encouraging family use. At the north end of the park, visitors spiral up an accessible path to the top of an earthen mound for dramatic views of the river. At the south end, picnic and playground area hosts family and group picnics and birthday parties.

The Discovery Play Area includes playground equipment and a sand play area. Buried in the sand play area are replicas of Nebraska fossils for budding paleontologists and archeologists, to discover. The buried items are described on a nearby interpretive exhibit.
