One of the most beautiful parks in Springfield. If I were bringing someone from out of town to the park, this is where I would go. Great neighborhood. Stone masonry accentuates beautiful landscape. Not especially large.

We took our pup there for a walk. Very beautiful and quiet and he loved all the squirrels. He also loved getting a drink from the water fountain. We will go back! Very pleased.

This is such a lovely park with a beautiful and peaceful canvas of large trees. It has several sporadically placed picnic tables and a large playground area for the children with a very nice playground equipment. It has a fantastic parking area and a walking track completely around the park.

Beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Nice, grassy Park with big trees for shade. Plenty of space. Quiet. Not much parking. There is a pavilion for live music.

Wonderful old park for cycling, running, walking...beautiful old trees. Not a huge park but the pavilion is as old as the park (which was a lake many, many years ago. Great place for easy access family picnic or picnic for lovers!

Very pleasant park, nice areas for walking, picnics, the victims memorial, and general scenery.

Very peaceful and well shaded by trees. A roughly 3/4 mile loop encircles the park

Well I grew up at this park right homeless at 616 East Meadowmere which was not even a block away Ive always loved this part it has a history in my life Ive done some wonderful work in this park and some wonderful experiences I have always enjoyed things like the AIDS Walk and several different events I have done several weddings in the Pavilion look forward to doing many more it holds a special place in my heart and the memorials that are in one location of the park are very special to me

Beautiful fall colors! Great place to relax and release some energy

Most beautiful park in Springfield. Love walking here. People are friendly and the homes are beautiful to see.

Fantastic park, tons of space, grills, picnic areas lots of tall trees and black walnuts.

First time at this park. It was really clean and had plenty of shady spots with picnic tables. We had carryout lunch and enjoyed the park.

Tennis courts, grills, and pavillion next to gorgeous old growth trees and right next door to the art museum. There is a playground for the kids and some pull up bars for the adults along the trail.

Beautiful and clean! Nice walking path and friendly squirrels. Hehe

I love fall there with lovely leaves. People are friendly

Love the tennis courts, the art museum, the sculptures, and the pokestops are great too!

Beautiful place to sit and have lunch, fun if you like to people watch... usually a good crowd

This park is so peaceful and our family feels safe here. It has a nice parking lot but is a bit far from the playground for the kids. We like to take lunch and eat under the pavilion then walk to the playground. Plenty of trees for shade and benches. Its well maintained and great area for pets. In the winter we still drive to sit in the parking lot to view the park area while eating lunch if we are out shopping.

I come here every day as part of my walk! Perfect beautiful park, history, and always meet wonderful people!

Very nice park, wonderful big trees.

Beautiful park. Came here for a geocaching adventure. Couldnt find it, but I know where it is. I need boots, though. But this park is absolutely beautiful. Its a great time of the year right now, and this is so well maintained. My wife hasnt seen it yet, but she would love it.

Beautiful park. Great place to have a BBQ at.

I used to love this park, but its just not worth the hassle. The maintenance man has some sort of weird God complex and instead of doing his job he takes it upon himself to police the grounds. If you want a good place to play with your dogs, this is not it. Youre better off going to Nathaniel Greene.

30 + years at this park. Now Im taking my kids here. Telling the spooky ghost of the bridge.

Phelps Grove Park is an amazingly peaceful park to go to, for a nice run around the track, dog walking, picnics, bbqs or just playing on the toys. Its safe and clean and mostly shaded, from the very mature trees it provides. We have had several birthdays and get togethers here and every one of the family can enjoy. We you like hearing the birds chirp and seeing squirrels. This park is for you. Its also directly behind the museum, that is a must to visit!

Great park. My dog loves it!

Beautiful park with lots of space to run & play.

Mi kids and grandkids love this place.

Great park for jogging, tennis, dog walking and family get togethers. There are many events open to the public throughout the year.

The food was very good, but the service was very slow, and the place did not look like it had been kept clean. Floors was sticky, the bathroom was really gross.....

Good place to workout and just relax.

Lovely park! Easy jaunt to the art museum.

Its beautiful clean ane well manicured friendly people lots of shaded area

In general a nice park but gets very overcrowded and a very large amount of people dont follow the parks very basic rules of no motorized vehicles in the park and no bicycles, rollerskates, skateboards, etc on the walking path and a lot of people dont clean up after their dogs even with several clean up stations provided.

I had fun playing tennis.

Such a beautiful park and flower gardens.

Going to the Victims Memorial Garden and Visiting My Friend and Heavenly Angel Bailey Clemmons RIP You ARE Loved and Missed daily

Nice little party. Good for a walk!

Ive never had a complaint with the park. Safe, great walking path, nice tennis courts.

Nice paths beautiful old trees. Lots to do.

Great mid-town park. You can tell how long its been around, with the huge beautiful trees. Has something for all - running/walking path with exercises along the way of you want, playground, tennis courts, pavilion with restrooms (dirty like many parks) and great place to meditate. There is also a kiddie pool across the street.

Lots of space for whatever you need

Been along time since lve been very nice recommend

Loved this park! Free free free!

Very clean and spacious. Best park for running or walking in the afternoon in Springfield.

It has a nice pavilion, with electricity, great for events. And its not too expensive to reserve. There are bbq grills and picnic tables, scattered around the park. There is a pretty nice playground. There is a walking trail all the way around it, I walk there almost every morning, with or without the dog. I like that they have bags to clean up after your dog. But I wish everyone walked the same direction.

Nice park but I couldnt find an open bathroom anywhere. If there is one its not easy to find or convenient

Its a beautiful place. Lots of room, would highly recommend. There is so.ething for everyone to enjoy

A good time every time! This park is beautiful, fun for kids and adults alike. Just an all around peaceful place to be!

I really like this place. Its quiet in the fall (Probably because its way too cold). The people that come there are friendly, quiet, & dosent stay too long. I love listening to the birds singing early in the morning while I chugalug a cup of hot coffee (it has to be Folgers coffee!!). All in all, its a good to have a pick nick or to have a good time, or just spend quality time with your children !

It was a relaxing moment, the short time that I had to spend there.Just enoughtime to take a couple of photos.

My favorite park in Springfield to take a stroll.

Gorgeous, well-maintained park!

Its very peaceful and felt safe while there

I give it 5 stars for the art museum. Quite a jewel for a small City like this! The park is nice too for walking, gatherings -- lovely all the shade the trees provide. ️

Phelps Grove is one of my favorite parks in Springfield. It has a pavilion that you can reserve for events, a walking path with some exercise equipment, tons of trees, a tennis court, and lots of dogs!!! (leashed of course) Its also aesthetically pleasing and has a lot of history to it.

Spacious and beautiful.The playground is spread out between swings, solo slides, and the main play sets. I like that this park is set up in the middle of a huge patch of grass with a walking trail around the perimeter. I have a “runner” so having a ton of space is great for me.I enjoy listening to the birds and catching some sunshine. Although this park is surrounded by beautiful trees there aren’t any shading the playground which can totally suck in the summer. Hot metal and plastic galore.The bathrooms could use an update but they function as is.

Very pretty a nice place to take the kids

My son and I enjoyed driving over the cool brick bridge to get in, and we enjoyed sitting in the shade to eat some cupcakes.Its a park, its hard to really find anything wrong with a park unless the gyms are broken and dangerous, and there are shady people.Didnt have a problem when I was here.

Favorite park in town

Great place for my family and dog for the day near MSU campus.

I grew up in this neighborhood and this large park is heavily planted with old shade trees. A favorite must for our family birthday parties.

A great park near the Springfield Art Museum. A walking trail around the perimeter of the park its nice for a short stroll. Great for children to play in or hammocking. A very nice big Pavilion for renting.

Very disappointed! A family member of ours rented the pavilion and paid way ahead of time. When we got there 2 other groups of people where using 3/4 of the pavilion. No sign to indicate it was reserved and no one to call to enforce their rental agreement. The pavilion is nice and well kept up but why reserve and pay for something you wont even be guaranteed to use. If we were a conformational and asked them to leave I could see how and why problems occur. Maybe even dangerous ones. I think the park should take some responsibility when people pay and rent the pavilion. At least put a sign. I dont think our family will ever use this pavilion again.

Peaceful and decent place for some photos. Nice track that goes all the way around the entire park. Mostly friendly faces and a nice neighborhood.

Beautiful park - great for walking.

Amazing watercolor show.

Beautiful park, one of my favorites in town.

A real safe park. Had a wonderful time

Great park with a cool stage.

Was cold.windy and alot of people

Phelps Grove Park is an excellent park that sits smack dab in the middle of town. Plenty of room to get some peace of mind without being disturbed.

Needs a drink machine and maybe a vending machine but if I over looked it please point it out.

Great Park only reason 4 stars instead of 5 is the playground is pretty far from all the parking areas. And its also far from the bathroom and Pavilion. The kids had a great time and lots of fun good Park.

Great Park, lots of shaded areas for picnics.

I love the size of this park, but some of the equipment needs to be replaced. The park is pretty old, and has a wading pool in the summer for toddlers and small children. The grills at this park are built from stone, so they take longer and more coal to heat up if you come here to grill. The park is typically busy, and there are only two swings in the park. Other than that, great outdoor space.

Very clean and well kept up with park!

Beautiful place with lots of flowers and butterflies. They have playgrounds throughout the park and a guest center that includes restrooms, wedding receptions and much more. Has little ponds, streams, and a lake with ducks and geese.

Very nice and shady, not much to do and see however.

There is playground equipment for the children. There is a small tennis court. There is a huge covered picnic area. There are outdoor cooking grills and uncovered picnic tables. There is a walking path and lots of open spaces to stretch out. There are also mens and womens restrooms. There is lots of trees and good shade and green grass.

Great for bbq or quick work out. Bring your pets but make sure they are on a leash.

Beautiful and well maintained. Phelps is one of the better parks here in sgf.

Beautiful Park in the midst of beautifully quaint homes, a sanctuary near downtown

Great place for kids and allows pets. Beautiful grounds and walkway.

Attended a birthday gathering at the park. I think its good. No issues. Family friendly. Has a walking trail and plenty of green area.

Looking for a jolly holiday? Phelps Grove park is an oasis in central Springfield with a Mary Poppins-like je ne sais quoi.

Lively park. Kid friendly, pavillions, restrooms, workout stations.

Love this park! It has a paved trail for running,a playground for kiddos, tennis courts, a covered pavilion, and beautiful scenery.

Fun times

Beautiful little spot!

Always a delight!

Large park with a walking track, bicycle repair station, playgrounds, picnic tables, grilling stations, large pavilion with bathrooms, and lots of room for blankets and hammocks. Great for families or students. Weekly yoga in good weather and a wading pool for 6 and younger in the summer.

Shady playground. Always people but not crowded.

Nice close neighborhood vicinity. Lots of open space and areas for picnics and hammocking. In the middle of the park lies a dining pavilion with bathrooms. Also, theres a good running/biking trail around its perimeter as well as two tennis courts that usually open.

About as good as you can hope for as far as parks in Springfield go, well kept and pleasant, the odd tweaker might show up but theyll likely keep to themselves. A lot of jogging, biking, and family events here.

Had a nice time at the park, we just had a Church picnic there an it was a very enjoyable time.

Very peaceful

Playgrounds are very nice. Adequate parking. Paths need repaving. My son is in a wheelchair and it was bumpy and uncomfortable for him to navigate.

Nice park. Well kept and plenty of room to raom around. The playground is somewhat shaded so some of the slides were hot (but it is summer, lol) My Grandson and I had a good time
