Willard and Schroeder Park

Schroder Park is a neighborhood park located at the intersection of South Folsom Street and West B Streets in Lincoln, Nebraska. The park encompasses 2 acres of land, providing a small but valuable green space for the local community.

As part of a broader initiative, Schroder Park is being developed into the Schroder Park Wellness Campus. This collaborative project is led by the Mourning Hope Grief Center in partnership with the Willard Community Center. The wellness campus aims to offer a range of services and activities to promote community well-being.

The park features basic amenities typical of a neighborhood park, including a playground and areas for recreational activities. It serves as a gathering place for local residents and provides opportunities for outdoor leisure and exercise.

One notable aspect of the Schroder Park Wellness Campus is its monthly book club, which meets on the third Tuesday of each month from 1:00 to 2:30 pm at the Mourning Hope Grief Center. This activity demonstrates the park's evolving role as a center for community engagement and wellness-oriented programs.

The development of Schroder Park as a wellness campus reflects a trend towards creating multifunctional community spaces that go beyond traditional park uses, integrating social services and community programs into public green spaces.
