From the reviews
At first I thought the park was just ball playing fields and a track field, but hidden in the back are a few forested hiking trails. Smells amazing over there with all the honeysuckle and multiflora roses growing all around. Nice little Brook flowing through the middle.
…One shaded and short (a quarter mile max) path is around a beautiful pond with tons of greenery, then another lush trail about 3/4 of a mile is to the right of a bridge, while a 3rd polyurethane running track (1/4 mile around) is very smooth and soft if you're prone to tripping and falling.
Great new turf field and running track. Plus new basketball courts. Also has bathroom facilities and baseball fields. Tennis courts would be a nice addition. Could use more parking.
…The track field is in good condition. Springfield hosts the 4th of July firework show at this park. Basketball courts are all the way in the back.
