My son loves going to the “rocket park”. In addition to the traditional play set there is a 3 story rocket play set from the Cold War area. Definitely a nice addition to the Springfield Park District.
The rocket ship is super cool, but the rest of the playground is in serious need of an overhaul. There is one portopotty that is brought in seasonally. There are a few picnic benches. lots of potential
There are a lot of space for them to run around and sit for picnic but the playground itself is full of rust. Not safe for children.
My kids love 'rocketship' park! Kids can enjoy plenty of room to run and play. The playground is nice. Being close to the airport planes can be seen flying over. Only downside is the parking lot. Make sure to take sunscreen and your baseball gear!
This air travel-themed park is hidden in a cornfield out by the airport, but is a lot of fun, especially with a friend. The rocket structure was an immediate draw. My son was climbing it before I even got out of the car. Up top there are 2 chairs for the command module, and the other 2 floors have slides. The giant slide was amazingly fast and fun, as was the little slide. Be careful with the little ones! The modern play structure nearby was your typical fun, but the rocket really is the huge draw here. Folks at the playground were nice and pleasant. I had plenty of room to walk the dog while my son played. Picnic tables and benches were nice for resting. Not a lot of shade.
