Benson Park

This park feels like it's straight from a movie scene. Having grown up in a small town, moving to the big city made me miss the charm of those intimate parks. Here, you see people getting into a game of basketball on a pristine court, families strolling by the large pond, watching geese bask in the sun, or searching for their afternoon meal. Kids are everywhere, tossing footballs, while the little ones conquer the huge playground. Even adults are letting loose, revisiting their childhood on the swings. Everywhere you look, there are smiles, laughter, and a symphony of shared memories. I'm truly thankful that in this fast-paced world, we still find moments for park afternoons, especially with gems like Benson Park around.

A really great playground right next to a pond with a great path around it for jogging, walking or strolling. It looks like they have a pavilion for gatherings. It was all closed for the winter when we were there, but looks accommodating.

By far, one of my favorite Parks in Omaha to hang out at. Not only does it have a breathtaking scenery, but a water fountain, plenty of benches, tables, parking spaces, etc. Definitely a pleasurable experience.

The ducks were pretty and cute and the park is being kept up, got a park and water park but the water is not working. Not to busy and everyone was nice. Good place for rollerblading and skating if wanted. The water could be cleaned in the pond tho a little bit.

Nice park for a summer barbecue or picnic. There are lots of grills and benches surrounding a small lake in the middle. The grills and benches are very close to the parking area so you wont have issues carrying your picnic equipment. There are walking trails around the park as well as a kids playground.

Great atmosphere and my grandsons really enjoy this park, it's almost a 3 for 1, They have the Ducks, my grandson love coming to see, The Park and Splash Pad.....They have done alot of upgrades since I've moved here, must visit park....Thank You Benson !!!

Great splash pad & playground! Plenty of space and features that rotate thru different settings, several sections of playground that each have their own slides & climbing parts. Right next to the lake with plenty of benches & picnic tables nearby to watch everyone.

1st day of vacation from work and enjoyed a full day with my two youngest children who caught 2 bulkheads.

Really nice place inside city. If wanna take a walk or get the kids to do some splash that's also open.

There are numerous barbecue pits. Not much crowdy.

Seemed pretty clean. Saw people fishing. Not sure whether you need a permit for that!

A perfect place to enjoy a big picnic, or a small lunch stop with your pup. Leash law. I only took it off for a quick pic 🐾.There is a wonderful cement trail around the pond. Usually geese too and turtles 🐢🐸🐿🦢🦆🐟

Nice clean family and pet friendly park. Lots of space and parking.

The kids love it here. You can fish on the deck, feed the ducks, have a bbq, play in the splash pad or at the park. Theres lots of trees for shade and a good place to relax and eat.

Easily one of the best parks in Omaha. No barriers between the splash zone, the playground, or the covered seating areas. Plenty of grills, great trees, and did I mention the lake? Gorgeous on a bad day! Fantastic on any great day. I cannot say anything bad about the place

Great place to relax, fish, walk or bring your kids. Sitting on one of the comfortable benches, watching the water and the birds go by is the perfect way to de-stress

Our church had a community service and picnic in the pavilion..A wonderful experience, a nice indoor space.

Great all around play ground, splash pad, walk path, pond, with plenty of shad and seats for adults. My kids loved it.

Fun place to take your kids kids to have fun and a picnic

Might just be my new favorite park in town. A very beautiful and open park with sections for grilling and picnic tables. The equipment is really great for kids and has plenty to do. The splash pad is big and has plenty of space and activities to do on a hot day.

It was fun. The parks scenery is beautiful. Children will love the play ground. It's also a great place to ride your bike or walk your dog. So just enjoy it, it's worth checking out.

I was at a picnic that my Day Program had. It was really beautiful weather today.
