Little disappointed they got rid of the feed machine to feed the animals thoughPlayground: Very shaded, kids love itRestrooms: Not very stroller friendly.

cheap dale (Moose): This farm was once owned by the Sheedy family. Spinster sisters were the last of the family to live here. They hired an albino to be caretaker to the property. Rumours abound and many local folks will tell you that his ghost still haunts the old farmstead.The Tall Tale Of The Albino FarmPosted by Grace ChangSpringfield is known as one of the most haunted places in Missouri.Just north of the Greenlawn Cemetery is a property over 100 years old called the Springlawn Farm which is also known as the “Albino Farm.”According to the local legends from the Underground Ozarks, a forum of people who explore “places you’re not supposed to go” in the Ozarks, the farm was owned by a farmhand that had albinism who scared off trespassers with a shotgun or a hospital that performed experiments on people with albinism.One of the most prominent pieces on the farm is this “Evil Awaits” painted on a structure outside of where the foundation of the house stands.Although there are countless urban legends that follow this eerie plot of land, there was not always a ghost story attached to it.The farm originally belonged to the Headleys family in the late 1800s then later in 1915 was sold to the Sheedys family; it was home to a horse racing track reported by Herschel Fincher of The Springfield Leader & Press in 1979.Once the last the Sheedy heir passed away, an auction flooded the estate for the Headleys’ belongings.September 1, 1980 fire was set to the barn, potentially by arsonists, which spread to the house, leaving the structure unable to be saved by the volunteer firefighters on site according to an article from Barbara Clauser of The Springfield News & Press.Since price of the damages were so severe, the repairs were not worth the cost.Today the Springlawn Farm stands with arbitrary pieces of architecture covered in graffiti on a few acres of land.

James Wildes: Has some nice trails and a playground for the kids. Great areas to take pictures as wellPlayground: Modern playground with plenty of room to run and play.Restrooms: None on site that I could see.Picnic area: If you don't mind a 10 min walk theres a nice pavilion towards the little lake.

Deborah Hutton: I went 2 weeks ago beautiful place but the tic problem was out of control don't go unless you want a lot of tics!

Terri Andrews: A favorite since childhood. Another gorgeous place just outside of town. There's something for everyone here to enjoy. Playground is pretty cool too.

Laurie Lundberg: Nice clean park. Well maintained. You can walk on paved pathways or on grassy trails, which is great, especially if you have dogs.

Martina Sally: This is such a wonderful trail for small children or beginners. it's about 2.5 miles or 45 min. The weather was nice, the paths are wide and the trail itself consist of 2 trails. One trail is in and out and the second is a loop. There's also a park and bike path.

Emily Pierce: Hard place to visit when the roafs are blocked off and you have to walk a long ways to get to whete you think you want to go. The Pavilion was a bit of a letdown. And there was one port-a-potty, as the bathrooms were padlocked. Very inconvenient.

Emma Barnett: This is a beautiful trail with plenty of greenery and water features to enjoy!

J Fellers: Nice park 4.5 Stars on North side of Springfield near Fantastic Caverns. Has playgrounds for children archery, with grills and tables. Only complaint is info board is not clear where lake and bridge is past gate, was that Ritter Spring?? .65 mile past gate in front down gravel road is lake, bridge, old damn. Not sure if Ritter Spring is farther down ?? For another day. Come on parks mark trails and sites better.
