This is also trail head for the sangamon valley trail head. Great trail for bikes, walking and running. Only thing to be aware of there are several roads you have to stop to observe traffic.

Such a beautiful park with lots of greenery around and the playground is convenient for my 18 months son till my 3 yr old daughterWhich is a huge addition to be in a same place and both are entertained

A wonderful gift from a few of Springfields citizens to all the rest of us. Very spacious, wheelchair accessibility, well-maintained and innovative.

Beautiful, wide open park with Playground, tennis courts, picnic areas, a long paved trail and a Large Hill for a climbing challenge and sledding. Theres also a paved path that winds to the top of the hill. Easy to pick out a place for solitude, as you can clearly see everything.

Nice park. Big open space for LaCrosse, soccer, flying a kite, or frisbee. Baseball fields. Tennis courts, kids play area, skateboard park and a nice hill. Parking is very limited. Thanks to the church across the street for their parking.

The grass is always mowed so Beautiful! I stopped a guy named Jim and he was a nice guy told him his mowing is expertise mowing!

Love walking dog there, or riding bike. Very beautiful place. Its great for relaxing your brain.

First time visitor to the skate park - very nice!

Known for its big hill, but has not alot of park for a park. A large pond and a few trees. Pretty simple west side park. The skate park is also quite enjoyable

Excellent sledding hill. Great view from the top.

Beautiful park makes you forget you are in Springfield!

Great sledding hill!

Great family spot. Great for photography.

Nice paths and my first time there was enjoyable.

An excellent bike trail.

Awesome skateboard park!

Structure is dynamic enough for my 3.5yrs old. I like how the park is away from streets with big area of grass around the playground. Its perfect to ride bicycle around the park on the trail. Portable bathroom is the only downside of the park because its not very clean. I would love to go here for a little picnic or for kids to play.

The park is close enough to the ballpark for the younger children to play while parents watch the game and they can also still see the younger children at the park from every angle.

Nice clean park and it looked very organized

We just went sledding there. Parking was great. Did not have to trek over to the sledding hill.

Good place walk

This is a nice and clean park that has lots of space and is situated in an area that is not congested. It can get a bit crowded on weekends, but I understand that lots of people like to take advantage of the nice facilities.

Great bathrooms with sink but we wait a bit. Make sure the animals get cleanned out first.Cant waste money on stupidThanks guys.We do have some guys who take pride in their park. Thanks guys!!

Best hike in Springfield!! A+++

Beautiful park

Has a killer view & the environment is the best. Absolutely loved it, i highly recommend walking or jogging the trails with some friends!

Nice park with a long trail to walk/run on next to it.

Great baseball facility. Fields looked to be well maintained .

Skate park. Kids helping each other. Beginners to advanced all at same time.

Great place to walk

Its a nice park..open and lots of room to walk

All concrete skate park is pretty rad

Well cleaned park, nice bike trails

The grass trail is a great place to walk the dogs!

Park divided by an old railroad right of way now a skate/bike trail. East 2/3 of park, flat, traditional playground, 2 softball fields, some tennis courts, artificial sledding hill. West 1/3 of park, rolling terrain and ongoing prairie restoration with mown trails for walks. Bring your dog.

Trail is great for skating

We love going and rollerblading on our lunch break and using the adult gym at the park!

Nice park, skateboard area and tennis courts with great places to walk. Wide open spaces for flying kites and drones....love hanging out here. In the winter a great place to go sledding! Dont forget to like the review if it helps!Dont forget to like the review if you agree.

Huge park ! Nice and clean lots of room to walk,jog,or let your pet walk on a leash. Skate board area. Lots of parking and potties too. Enjoy it and respect it its yours.

My favorite place

Our 5 and 3 year old grandsons love this park. They love climbing the mountian, looking for ground squirrels and rolling down it. The playground offers a good variety of play equipment. Were thinking of bringing their bikes to ride on the paths.

Great bike and walk trail starts here. After about the first mile or so there is great shade canopy nearly all the way to Stuart Park at the other end, which has parking as well. Round trip is about 12 miles.

It was a nice place. Everyone there was very hospitable and friendly

This is a great place to run play and do all kinds of activities including go up to the top of the big Hill as my chipping like to

Nice open park had a great family visit

Love this prairie paths through this park, neat to see the plants change throughout the seasons. Not crowded either. Nice to walk around for some peace and quiet.

Love it!! Spacious and open

I went here in the summer. Its a very well kept area. Great to hold events and picnics.

My son loves this park. Playground, skate park, bike trail, etc

Quiet place great for rest and meditation.

I love this park! I take my granddaughter to the playground often. Also, my daughter and I love to walk/run the Sangamon Valley trail that starts there. It is a beautiful trail for walking, running, or biking. And dont forget about conquering the giant hill as an added challenge!

Pretty decent skatepark. Good for vert and the bowl

Clean place

Clean and good equipment for all ages

Nice area to go eat lunch or spend time with you family

Best skate park in central Illinois

Nice place. With that mountain. Nice view on top

Lacks parking for two lacrosse games at the same time. A lot of folks parked across the street at a church.

If you go fishing, take an umbrella. Not much shade.

Its decent for Springfield. Its so far out, its not reachable for those without cars and its extremely dark (and unsafe) at night.

Have a skate park for kids. The big hill is fun to roll down nice for walks and even to relax while on break at work.

Wide open spaces. good walking and bike trail. disgusting portable toilet.

Great park with a lovely hill that gives a nice view of Springfield. Also one of the best spots to go sledding.

Can’t go wrong sledding down the hill or for a jog in the park pick a season the have something there for it

Great park, nice walking paths and playgrounds.

Great multifunctional park. Complete with bocce ball courts, soccer fields(No goals) baseball fields, big playground, pond, big manmade hill that has a paved sidewalk leading up it, picnic tables, smaller pavilions and more. I am only aware of portopoties and it is more open and has less shade than some other parks in springfield.

I visited here to use the skatepark and its a great set up. Slightly rough around the edges due to the age but the ramps are great and varied from 4ft to 10ft really a great bowl.

Very quiet and secluded. Has a hill that has a beautiful view of the city and the sky great for watching the sunrise or sunset.

Great hill for sledding. Several options for different levels of expertise.

Very prarie. Butterflies!

Scenic place at the southern end of Sangamon Valley Trail.

Kids love to climb the hill, and look out at Springfield.

Nice playground with lots of space. Could use better maintenance, too bad about the fountain.

The sangamon valley trails ends at the park. Get out and ride.

Playground was pretty dense. Made it hard to keep an eye on the kids. Park itself was ok. Nothing really special to see or look at.

Its a good place but offers little shade. Bring an umbrella on hot days.

Awesome biking & walking trails. Fun playgrounds

Really good park, hosts a variety of end events, great hill to push the runners.

A family favorite thanks to the sprawling grounds and the large hill. There is often wildlife to be seen, bike trails, playground, and more. Even when the playground is busy, there is plenty to do with the family.

Great park, plenty of open space to fly kites, rockets, and frolicking.

Got free outside movies cool

A really good park for running or just walking around

Nice, quiet, well kept

Took the kids sledding on the hill there. We also like the walking/bike trail

Really nice facility and great staff.

Needs mor trees

Fun place to take the kids.

Beautiful
