The play equipment was nostalgic shall we say and minimal but classic fun. I liked that they were wide open spaces for running and playing.However there was some pretty creepy people around the park sitting in their vehicle watching, circling the park with their cars, at one point someone started to film the playground. I dont know if it was just that particular day but it definitely did not leave a good taste in our mouth.

Felt Really safe compared to some parks. Drug dealers better beware there is a school next door and if I remember right has a stiffer penalty. Great family park. Missed the pool this year.

I just love the stone arched bridges and old, decaying stonework that litters the hillside here. The reason for four stars is because litter also litters the water and hillside and there are often homeless folks camped out or hanging out. Amazing during the day, somewhat shady at night. Beautiful at sunrise and sunset.

Beautiful scenery and wonderful playset for kids to jump around on. Lots of space and plenty of shade from the sun

The neighbourhood is nice and the parks size is good for biking, running or dog-walking. The creek is shallow but there are shoals of small fishes and there are birds who prey on them. While it is nice to visit a sizable park beside a creek, it is not the cleanest of the parks in the city.

Beautiful park. Spacious enough you can be loud and has a basketball court and you can climb around on the rocks. Do not recommend coming here after dark as it is across from the high school and not very well lit.

This well maintained public green space is a quiet refuge to sit under one of the tall shading trees and relax. Theres a bit of a creek that quiets the mind while gazing at it from the gentle bank. This park has never been crowded when Ive visited, and Ive never been bothered by others as I sought quiet solitude. A friendly nod, a cheerful hello, and people pass on enjoying their time walking here and there in the park.

Very beautiful old rock building and sidewalks. The creek runs through here but it is very run down and unkept. The pool looks very clean and nice. This place needs some additional upkeep for strolling as there were many alcohol bottles along the paths

Fasnight used to be a very fun park and it was a park I frequented when I was younger because of the large pool, baseball/softball fields, grills, scenery, etc! Its an old park and I find it fairly nostalgic!Some pretty savory, rough, gang types run it now. I rarely even drive by or around it at drive on the road in between Parkview, my old almammoder, and the park itself.

One of the older parks in Springfield. I have found needles on the ground under the play equipment. Make sure you pay close attention to your child/children. Nice park but the area has a lot of crime.

Not too good. Went there to have a nice quiet lunch hour outside under the shade of the trees. Enter 3 kids 13 or 14 years old into the basketball court screaming obsceneites at the top of their lungs along with n****r this and that while people had their little kids trying to play. Other than that perfect.
