There’s a reason this park takes the top spot as many Springfield visitors’ favorite destination. From the playground areas to the walking paths to the butterfly house to the miniature train exhibit during the holidays, there’s something to keep everyone in the family entertained and happy–while getting some fresh air and activity. Families with younger kids love walking the 0.7-mile “play trail” around the lake to find all of the fun nature-themed play equipment.
