Adams Park, Municipal park in North Omaha, Nebraska, US.
Adams Park is a public park spanning about 61 acres in North Omaha along John A. Creighton Boulevard. The grounds feature multiple sports fields, walking paths, a central pond, and a community center with various facilities.
The Omaha Park Commission acquired the land in 1948, originally calling it Bedford Park before renaming it Adams Park in 1954 to honor local businessman Frederick J. Adams. This name change marked a shift in how the park became recognized within the community.
The park stands near the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation and serves as a gathering place for the African American community in North Omaha. It reflects the importance of this area for local families and neighborhood events.
The grounds are easy to access and offer tennis and basketball courts, ball fields, picnic areas, and playgrounds for visitors of all ages. The attached community center with a swimming pool provides additional facilities, especially on warmer days.
The grounds follow distinctive switchbacks of Creighton Boulevard that wind up the hillside, creating a notable topography. The historic Bedford Avenue Pumping Station also sits within the park, standing as a reminder of earlier infrastructure.
