Parks
Our unique 80 acre state-of-the-art park serves as a national model by providing a new dimension of inclusion for all people, “without boundaries.”
We’ve gone beyond full compliance of the American Disabilities Act with a special emphasis and attention given to individuals with physical and cognitive needs. Take a stroll on our 2.5 miles of urban trails. Play a game of bocce ball or shuffleboard on our sports courts near the Hope Family Picnic Pavilion. Enjoy the music and light show at the Selvaggio Historic Arches. Walk, stroll or roll up the ramping system to the fully accessible Treeless Treehouse. Bring the family out and play on Springfield Park District’s largest accessible playground. Grab your poles because our lake outside Erin’s Pavilion is filled with catfish, bluegill and bass!
