Gene Leahy Mall, a centerpiece of Omaha’s Riverfront Revitalization, reconnects downtown with the Missouri River through a transformed 14.8-acre park. Originally constructed in 1977, the park’s redesign addresses accessibility by raising it to street level, which now features amenities like a performance pavilion, event lawn, sculpture garden, and playground. Mercer Zimmerman played an essential role in coordinating with manufacturers and lighting designers to ensure that lighting systems worked seamlessly across the park.
