#29 Washington Park

Located on the west end of Springfield, this 150 acre park contains:
12 tennis courts, paddle tennis courts, and a pro-shop. To the west is a large playground and a large pavilion with ADA accessible restrooms. Historic features within the park include the large, enclosed pavilion, a band pavilion and a lagoon on the park's east side. Toward the park's west side along the Jacksonville Branch Creek is a lower lagoon.

This park is great for runners, dog walkers, picnicers (hmmmm I don't think that's a real word), photographers, or to just stand around and feed the ducks!
One can host anything from birthday parties, graduation parties, weddings, or photo shoots on these grounds.
