Freedom Park, Naval museum park in Omaha, Nebraska, United States
Freedom Park is an outdoor naval museum along the Missouri River in Omaha that displays historical warships and military equipment. The site features a submarine, a minesweeper, and various aircraft and artillery pieces arranged along the waterfront.
The park was established to preserve naval vessels and equipment from the 20th century. It gained official recognition in 1979 for its role in protecting American maritime history.
The park preserves vessels that tell stories about American naval service during wartime. Visitors walk among ships and equipment that were once part of active military operations.
Visitors can explore the ships at their own pace, with Saturdays being the best time to visit. The site sits directly on the river, so wear comfortable shoes and plan your visit during warmer months when access is available.
The USS Hazard is the only surviving ship of its type in America and still displays its original wartime equipment. Its preservation makes it a rare example of a vessel that has kept its history intact.
