Editorial notes

What stands out

A strong practical park for everyday inclusive outings: the official ADA-accessible designation, shade, shelters, and nearby restrooms matter more here than flashy destination-scale features.

Peterson Park is one of the clearer accessibility-friendly park listings in the Omaha metro because Gretna's official page specifically calls out an ADA accessible playground. Families will also find a separate littles play area, benches, picnic tables, water fountain access, and restrooms at the pool building during the warmer season. The park's shade and reservable shelters make it a practical choice for both everyday visits and longer family meetups.

Hours & Admission

Admission

Playground access is free; shelters can be reserved.

Group Visits & Rentals

Starting at $25

Good low-key birthday or meetup option if your family prefers a public park with reservable shelters over a staffed party venue.
