The concept was amazing but the execution was a disaster. Tends to be filthy and unkept. You would think that the businesses in the area and the Chamber of Commerce would know better

Worth the time to walk through there, even in the winter. I love the Christmastime when it is all lit up. Beautiful.

If you in the Old Market area, a walk through the Gene Leahy Mall is a must. Beautiful lake and a peaceful atmosphere in the busy hustle of downtown Omaha. Giant slide for the kids (and teens even)to enjoy.

The Gene Leahy Mall in downtown Omaha, NE is a great place to spend an afternoon just relaxing, reading a book, watching the people or the ducks on the lake, and just enjoying an afternoon or a lunch hour.

Sometimes the slides at the Gene Leahy Mall feel just like sesame street. There are a ton of people with wax paper taking turns whipping down the slides. So much fun and free!

A night in downtown Omaha or the Old Market could not be complete without a walk down Gene Leahy Mall! There are always couples walking around this softly-lit mini river that cuts into the heart of Omaha. During the day, bums gather in the west end of the mall but dissipate by nightfall. MUST SEE!!!

We were meeting family in Omaha for Thanksgiving. This was a lifesaver, since almost everything was closed. With seven kids to keep busy for a few hours, this park was perfect.

We toured the sculptures in the area and many need cleaned and painted. The city needs to update the area as our reputation is depended on our public areas near the downtown
