[edit] Spring Lake places
Early on the site that became Spring Lake Park was called "Syndicate Park". It belonged to an unknown business coalition in South Omaha intent on keeping it as a private club. When the City of Omaha annexed South Omaha in 1917, the park fell into city hands.[1] A former dairy farm was converted into the original Spring Lake golf course in 1933.[2] Spring Lake Magnet School and Spring Lake Public Swimming Pool are also located within the neighborhood.
