Omaha's Historic Park System Designed by H.W.S. Cleveland

 H.W.S. Cleveland was head of the parks in Omaha from 1889-1894 and designed a comprehensive park system.

This plaque is from Hanscom Park.  The same plaque is at Elmwood Park.  These are two of the original six large parks which were connected by a boulevard system.  River View Park is now Doorly Zoo.  Others included Miller Park, Kountz Park, Bemis and Fontanelle Parks.  It also includes Fontanelle Boulevard and Carter Lake Parks.
