About the Location
A Glimpse Into the Past
Located in Springfield's southwest side lies Vredenburg Park, a green oasis spanning 8.5 acres within the Sherwood Subdivision. This local hangout came to life in 1974 when the Vredenburg family generously donated the land to the Springfield Park District, and it's been a neighborhood favorite ever since.
Places to Play and Unwind
You'll find a ball diamond and basketball court for those looking to shoot some hoops or hit a home run. Kiddos will love the playground while fitness enthusiasts can take advantage of the park's status as a designated trailhead - fantastic for starting your morning jog or afternoon stroll.
Need a spot for your family reunion or just somewhere to spread out a blanket and enjoy a sandwich? The park's spacious open areas create a peaceful backdrop for gatherings both planned and impromptu. The well-kept grounds make it easy to appreciate a bit of nature right in the city.
Good to Know
You'll discover parking available on the south side of the park, so access is a breeze. Regardless of whether you're in the mood for an active afternoon of sports, a quiet moment with a good book, or simply want to feel the grass beneath your feet, Vredenburg Park offers a versatile green space for the community.
