OMAHA — A $1.1 million federal grant announced Friday will help resurrect a long-neglected North Omaha park and mesh with a $25 million affordable housing development rising nearby.

Myott Park, near 52nd Street and Sorensen Parkway, is to expand and be revived with a new amphitheater, picnic pavilions, walking and cycling trails and courts for sports including pickleball and basketball.

Featuring a barrier-free design, it is to support families already living in the area as well as the new 85-home Bluestem Prairie subdivision under construction and led by Omaha Habitat for Humanity.
