Beautiful grounds and seem to be well manicured. Several park benches available to sit and shaded areas. During our visit on the weekend there was cornhole games to play and a band. A few statues and plaques around the plaza.

Beautiful park in front of historic renovated train station. Sculptures and gazebos dot the park, quite a few covered picnic tables to enjoy a picnic. Ice skating rink in the winter. Check it out!

What a cute park in the heart of downtown. Great walking paths and statues set all over. The clock town can be seen from blocks away. The gardens were well maintained and beautiful to walk through. This would make a great picnic spot if you find yourself in the area.

Springfield has many large outdoor gathering places. This station is historical. The tracks no longer service this location. There are many sculptures throughout the square. You will certainly encounter this park when you stroll through historic downtown Springfield.

This is a cute little park in the middle of town, with statues, benches, a bench with a sitting Lincoln statue, pretty landscape and furnishings, plus the picturesque Union Station as a backdrop. Can't go wrong for a place to hang out for a rest or chat.
