Hanscom Park was established in 1872 and is Omaha's oldest still existing park. It is named after Andrew J. Hanscom who, along with James G. Megeath, donated the 57.5 acres of land that constitute the grounds of the park. In the years 1889-1890 several additions were made to the park, including a pavilion, a bandstand, a greenhouse, two lakes, and several fountains, flower beds, and trees.
