The Roundhouse Park is a small park with shade trees, playground equipment, a basketball court, one ball field and picnic tables maintained by the City of Gering. It consists of three acres which may have once housed a roundhouse. A roundhouse is a building used by railroads for servicing locomotives. Roundhouses are large, circular or semicircular structures that were traditionally located surrounding or adjacent to turntables. The defining feature of the traditional roundhouse was the turntable, which facilitates access when the building is used for repair facilities or for storage of steam locomotives. Steam engines are no longer used on this rail line. The majority of trains passing through this area are transporting coal. The coal industry is being hit hard and we are seeing fewer coal trains passing through this area. While you are here, if you are lucky enough to see a train pass by, be sure to wave.
