After school, kids flock to Adams Park in droves to practice their jump shot at the basketball courts while locals get cardio in along the park's paved walking trails. Adams Park Community Center serves as the neighborhood's central hub, containing a fitness center and gymnasium. Yale Park off Lake Street is another hot spot for friendly play dates. Being so close to downtown, locals often venture to the heart of Omaha on weekends. "There are all kinds of amazing things to do downtown," says local Realtor Lisa Jansen Bartholow of NP Dodge Real Estate, who has sold over 300 homes in the Omaha area. "You have the CHI Center where all the major concerts are — all the big singers and everybody goes there. It's surrounded by the parks, the riverfront is right there. The Old Market is also there, which has tons of great restaurants."
Erskine Park is walkable, though residents often prefer getting around by car. The neighborhood offers good road access stationed at the intersection of Lake and 40th Street. Locals can also travel on Omaha Metro Route 35, which includes several stops along 40th Street.
