Northwest Community Club offers easy access to Fontanelle Park
The tiny neighborhood of Northwest Community Club offers one of the most sought-after features in Omaha– a location right next to a stunning, historic park. Covering barely ten city blocks, the community offers all residents immediate access to well-loved, historic Fontanelle Park. Not only does this 125-year-old park have a rich past and stories to tell, it’s also a top destination for historians, horticulturalists, fitness buffs and families. Neighbors not only enjoy, but practically depend upon, the benefits of Fontenelle for enriching their daily lives. As Realtor Dick Gibb with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate says, “Proximity to the park is one of the key selling points of Northwest Community Club. People love being so close to it and it’s a great place to make memories. In fact, I used to feed the ducks there with my son years ago.”
