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.
