Heartland of America Park, Urban park in Omaha, Nebraska, United States.
Heartland of America Park spans along the Missouri River with a central lake, fountain features, and networked walking paths through landscaped grounds. Paved trails connect different areas, allowing visitors to explore and move through the space at their own pace.
The park took shape in the 1990s as part of Omaha's plans to revitalize the downtown area. This transformation converted a former industrial and riverfront zone into public space for recreation.
The park draws people together through outdoor concerts, film screenings, and seasonal celebrations held throughout the year. These gatherings give the community space to connect and share experiences in the open air.
The park opens early and closes late every day, making it accessible for morning and evening visits. Multiple entry points and wide pathways accommodate various visitors, from families with strollers to those using mobility aids.
A distinctive feature is the Skate Ribbon, which switches from an ice rink in winter to a roller skating path in summer. This seasonal transformation offers different ways to use the same space throughout the year.
