I really like this Park. Its really convenient for a place to get away from the office and enjoy lunch. The path around the pond is well maintained and a post lunch stroll is a great way to relax mid workday. Right now its spring with geese and ducks everywhere. They are very people friendly and add to the scenery. They have trash bins located near the sitting areas and a basic bathroom should you need it. I usually elect to wait and use better facilities but they work in a pinch. Other people in the park seem friendly and pretty much leave people to their own business which is also a plus.

Best park in town and well cared for. Tons of character and always the busiest park on a nice day.

I really like this park for many reasons. The greenway trail the runs through it is awesome. Whether you are a runner, walker, or a bicyclist, being able to transverse some of the most beautiful outdoors Springfield has to offer is great. Why then only a 3-star review? The answer has nothing to do with the park environment and everything to do with parking. On a nice day, it is especially difficult to drive through the hustle and bustle of swarming people enjoying nature. Finding a parking spot at the park can seem nearly impossible at some points. Even though I really like this park, on a really nice day I always choose to go somewhere else.
