Pipal Park is located at 7770 Hascall Street in Southwest Omaha, Nebraska. Pipal Park was one of the areas struck by one of the most destructive tornados in the history of the USA. The tornado devastated parts of Omaha including Pipal Park on May 5, 1976. A memorial named "Patrick" was constructed by artist Judith K Van Wagner and was dedicated May 5, 1977 one year after the tornado struck Pipal Park. It stands on a grassy knoll overlooking the park and symbolizes the order being reestablished from the chaos the tornado created. The Pipal Park recreational area was officially dedicated in 1985.
