I hadnt been there for awhile. I had my grandkids for a bit so took them there. Enjoyed watching them as they played on the playground. Never saw the double swing before. Its a cool idea to be able to swing with small children. Adults are able to use it too!!!

I have been to this part countless times. It is never super-pact and it has a nice workout and playground area. Its also a good biking or running area if you are into that. I would recommend this park to anyone who wants a good run, bike, or walk.

Lincoln Park knows how to do it! This park is amazing. Everything youd want in a park!Little fact: Lincoln Park named their band after this park because they were from Chicago, illinois.

Being the 2nd largest park in Springfield has some advantages. You can almost always find a place to park. There are abundant restroom facilities, 2 indoors and some porta potties. There are also 2, 18-hole, disc golf courses to use. The perimeter road is a nice, pet-friendly, place to take a bike ride or a walk.

Good place to visit for anyone who is interested in history. There was a very knowledgeable guide inside the Lincoln Memorial. Clean restrooms are on the left side of the parking by the Memorial. The whole cemetery seems to be old and worth walk around; lots of old grave markers. Some of them are so beautiful like the museum quality art and seem out of place, like those few ancient Greece style columns on the other side of the drive leading to the parking lot. The cemetery is, in my opinion, well kept.

A really great place to walk. There is a playground area, with picnic areas. There is a beautiful pond with fish, turtles, and frogs. There is also an exercise area at the top of the park. A lot of all weather exercise equipment on a nice cushy flooring. Once the weather warms my family and I plan to use the equipment.

I love this park named for our most beloved and 16th President of the United States of America. Its has a lot to offer for anyone. The one thing I miss about the park are the Tennis Courts. Theyve made the park a little more green than I remember, but its still not a bad place to relax meet people and play a round of Frisbee Golf, or have a game of Horseshoes.Or just find a quiet spot to read or have a sack lunch, or just gather your self and your thoughts.

Lincoln Park is peaceful and spacious. Great open spaces, ponds, playgrounds, ice rinks and all the rest. Best disc golf course in the city (in my opinion).

Review №24

Its just really nice to go sit by the water they have ducks and little waking areas, they have a park and gazebos to have cook outs.... Allot of people go use it to exercise bike, walk, run. Then you have the Nelson center there too with the pool open during the summer and the ice rink is all year round

I love Lincoln Park. It was my favorite place as a child, my grandfather would take me here to play for hours, I loved it. Even, going there now-a-days bring back fond memories and I cannot wait to make memories with my son here. It is a very beautiful and peaceful place. It has a fountain, ice rink, playground, baseball fields, soccer field, boxing ring/stage, trails, and more. Its a great place to go to relax, think, just enjoy a nice day.

My favorite park in the city. Lots to do from walking and frisbee course to a variety of shelters for picnics and family events. Well established mature trees. Lovely fountain in a secluded pond with quaint bridge...perfect for photos.

I have loved this park all my life, I knew it before the pool was built and was there the first day it was open and at the opening ceremony. The only issue we had was the rink area was not open to use the bathrooms and the pavilion where the other bathrooms were located were not at all clean. I know this is just the start of the season and probably not fully staffed. We are planning a huge birthday party with lots of kids and adults, I hope someone attends to the restroom issue. You do an outstanding job of maintaining this property.

This is an older park that is in close proximity to the Lincoln Tomb, in Springfield. It offers a nice walking/jogging path that circle a pool and recreation area, ball diamonds, a playground, etc. The Nelson Center (Ice Skating & Swimming Pool) is located inside Lincoln park. There is also a disc golf course that is decent. This old park has been a north side favorite for years.

Review №91

Feels more spread out than Washington Park. I usually visit parks to either look for rocks or catch Pokemon now lmao. But I took my dog here last week and we had a great time. People are respectful and courteous.The trail here is more challenging than Washington Park I believe, but both have nice ponds at their lower slopes.I went to the graveyard nearby as well and it was a very serene yet somber place. I would like to also thank the guard/assistant that helped us locate the nearest exit. I apologise as I went toward the locked gate not knowing there was a secondary exit. I should have left earlier but the monuments and stones were very beautiful.
