Glenwood Park

Recreation Spaces

Tucked away in Springfield, this 8-acre nearby park gives you plenty of room to breathe. Glenwood Park offers generous green spaces where you can let your dog explore, toss a frisbee, or simply lay back and cloud-watch when you need a moment away from life's hustle.

If you're feeling more active, the park's baseball/softball diamond has plenty of space for a casual game with friends or family. There's also a basketball area (though heads up - these are shooting areas rather than full courts). Got little ones with energy to burn? The small playground comes equipped with a jungle gym and swings where they can climb, slide, and giggle to their heart's content.

What You'll Find

Tennis enthusiasts can enjoy a tennis court right on the grounds - well-suited for working on that backhand or having a friendly match. You'll also find drinking fountains scattered throughout to keep you hydrated during your visit.

Planning a casual outdoor lunch? The park offers a small picnic area with a table near the road, plus a few benches throughout where you can sit and take in the surroundings. Just note there aren't any restrooms here, and shade is somewhat limited, so you might want to bring a hat and plan your visit accordingly.

Neighborhood Vibe

Glenwood Park is a quiet gathering place for locals. The peaceful atmosphere makes it ideal for a contemplative morning walk or a quick lunch break escape from the office. It's conveniently located near baseball fields, which makes it a nice spot to unwind before or after attending nearby games.

While the park is generally serene and well-maintained, just be aware that the ground can get pretty soggy after rain - so maybe save those new white sneakers for another day!
