Ralph Steyer Park (est. 1951), S. 16th & Butler Streets

Steyer Park is home to the municipal swimming pool and skateboard park (see “Other Recreational Facilities” below). The park has two shelters with grills and one with an electric outlet, two playgrounds, freestanding picnic tables, benches and restrooms. There are two tables with checkerboards by the swimming pool. A feature of this park is its many unusual trees, most of them planted by Ralph Steyer, city forester for many years. Steyer was widely known for his knowledge and love of trees, and the park is named in his honor. This park is part of the Blair Community Arboretum and the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum.
