Lindbergh Park

Park Overview

Located in Springfield, Lindbergh Park covers 16 acres, with various features that appeal to different visitors. Established in 1991 and named after aviation pioneers Charles and Anne Lindbergh, this community space balances active recreation spaces with pockets of tranquility where you can simply catch your breath from the daily grind.

You'll find the park conveniently situated along Lindbergh Boulevard, making it an easy spot to access whether you're looking for a quick afternoon escape or planning a full day outdoors.

Play & Sports Options

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the two baseball fields and two soccer fields where local leagues battle it out and casual players toss balls around on weekends. There's also a tennis court for those looking to work on their serve or engage in a friendly match.

The western side houses a playground with equipment that keeps kids entertained, from toddlers taking their first wobbly steps to older children looking for climbing challenges. Right next to it, a picnic area with tables nestled under shade trees offers an excellent vantage point for parents to relax while keeping an eye on the little ones.

Room to Breathe

The park has plenty of open grassy areas - good for throwing a frisbee, walking your dog, or simply relaxing with a book. The thoughtful layout means you won't feel crowded, even when multiple activities are happening simultaneously.

Dog owners will appreciate the space for their pets to stretch their legs, but do keep your furry friends under control during your visit.

Community Connection

Though not the largest park in Springfield's system, Lindbergh Park functions well as a neighborhood gathering spot. The mix of facilities makes it useful for residents of different ages and interests.

Throughout the park, you'll come across benches strategically placed for resting, people-watching, or simply soaking in some vitamin D. These features make Lindbergh Park a pleasant green space that many locals visit regularly.
