Jamona Hehner: I wish there had been more animals and especially some babies. But when the other reviews had mentioned how great the playground was, I had no idea!

Lauryn Brown: My kids absolutely love this place. Little disappointed they got rid of the feed machine to feed the animals thoughPlayground: Very shaded, kids love itRestrooms: Not very stroller friendly. The big stall has a wall right there so it's difficult to get a double stroller or wagon into the stall

Shy Thorne: Beautiful trail with gorgeous views!

Anne Griswold: I absolutely love Lake Springfield and the surrounding park. It's so beautiful. It's a nice escape and Getaway into nature, for being in Springfield, and so close to the city.If you come around sunset/dusk...you will likely find families of dear roaming around the little grassy hills. You'll also likely see ducks, if you're down near the lake part of the park. There is an area near the lake, where you can sit and eat (I believe there is at least one picnic table you can sit and eat at), as well as there is at least 1-2 hiking trails that go up around the bluffs overheard the lake. We've done the shorter one with our kids, and just made sure they didn't go anywhere near the edge of the rocks (bluffs) that overlook the water. The trail was long enough to feel like a hike, but short enough to not feel overly tired, or to hear anyone begin to complain about it. Nice length and beautiful environment and surroundings.You can bring your kayaks or canoes here, and take a nice boating trip through the Springfield Lake.There is a North Park Pavilion, where you drive up a steep hill, and there is a swing set, and a large area where people can get together. It's very wooded and pretty.There is also a decent size playground near the main (lower) pavilion, which is closer to the entrance of the park.There's a long paved walking path, along with other smaller (non paved) walking paths, such as the one I mentioned previously.I don't believe this park has any actual bathrooms for the public, except for porta-potties. (Which is better than nothing....amiright?!!)I've never been inside of it, but there is also some sort of building/community center located within this park, near the lake/water access area. I believe they do book events, like weddings and receptions here. It looks like a very nice, and kept up building! They may also rent out kayaks and canoes from there, as well...possibly.If you're wanting to host a birthday party or any other type of party, you can reserve the pavilions for a small-ish fee, to ensure you have it to yourselves for the duration of your party or event.Overall, this is a beautiful place, a beautiful, clean, nature filled park. Great place to walk, great place for a picnic, BBQ, watching the sunrise or sunset, great place to try and see some wildlife.

Natalie B: Beautiful place to take pictures. We recently had our family photos taken near the lake.

Mike Scott: Easy access, and good for beginner kayakers....

Shane Bostian: Nice place to walk around and enjoy the views. Parking on the north side of the spillway allows you to walk all the way to the back of the lake where there is a visitor center. They recommend that you do not eat more than one fish per week from the lake - just as a precaution. Walking trail can be flooded sometimes so be prepared to turn around.The walking trail is paved and has quite a bit of shade.There's also a boat ramp and a short trail past the boat ramp it takes you to a cliff overlooking the lake.

dlyutes001: The terrain on this area is so dry right now! 😳😬😪

Marcella Ford: Very nice place

Ash Con: Dirty trashy filled with bottles and needles and broken glass

Tyler Heil: Great hiking trails and picnic areas, a decent disc golf course, plus the boathouse rents out kayaks and canoes. A great way to spend an afternoon

Cherie Weems: My handsome groom and I decided to visit. We played disc golf. They have a fun and challenging course. It will keep you busy for a whole day. Bring snacks ;)

Amber: Absolutely beautiful hike!

Tabetha kane: Beautiful place to take a nature walk and to fish 🐟

Joey F: The location is great. The park, grass and all of the grounds are beautifully maintained. The lake itself, however, yuk. Stall stagnant stinky moss and algae filled water. Almost guaranteed to catch something coming in contact with that water. Wouldn't let my dogs in it and wouldn't bother taking my kayaks there. We'll do fellows lake for kayin'. Aside from that, it's a beautiful place.

Travis Southern: Nice park with a decent lake to fish in has a place to stay out of the rain and a playground for the kids and a decent amount of grills for a cookout not the worst park in Springfield MO for sure I guess I could recommend it for fishing blue fill and bass and catfish and occasionally you can get a spoonbill but almost always wrapped up with fishing line please clean up all of your fishing line and anytime you see some laying around please pick it up keep our lakes clean for our kids and our kids kids for the love of God .

Heather Roberson: What a wonderful place! Ive lived in Springfield for many years and have never been here until today. I have learned the error of my ways. This place is amazing! Theres kayaks and canoes to rent, a park to enjoy, frisbee golf course, playground for the kids with picnic tables. My family plans on coming soon to enjoy some of the amenities. It was so nice to be able to see a wide variety of waterfowl so close to a major city. Thank you to the Park Board for this wonderful gem!

Mindy Rosella Chambers: A beautiful place to hike and see aome beauty. I dont like that theyve cut all the scrubbery out. Its no longer as magical as it once was. But it still has some pretty views overlooking the lake. A great atomostphere too.

Jacob William: Wonderful nature space. Uncrowded, excellent wooded hiking trail system, great green spaces, play equipment, and a very nicely marked disc golf course.The only thing needed is an extension of the paved trailway for the elderly and parents pushing a baby.

Igor Pulbere: We went kayaking on the lake, weather was nice, kids enjoyed the ride

Brandon Lauthern: A nice venue for small gatherings. It has picturesque surroundings, feels secluded, and is a neat and clean facility.

Melissa Haddix: We celebrated our grandsons graduation party here and it was very nice!

Meko Bahl: Fishing, glaring at people and getting glared at. People kayaking and smiling...it was fine, although i did lose some of a tooth, which made me have a painic attack.I guess that's really not Springfield lakes responsibility ....also, there's a lot of snakes there in the water.

Pamela Keller: Beautiful, families walking with their pets. Others and fathers with their children and their canoes and boats and fisherman in their boats catching fish. The birds flying over in the water which is beautiful so clean so much fun loved it.

Kage Foundation: I love the new 18 hole disc golf course!!
