Anne Griswold: This park is probably one of my favorites, as far as parks go, ever! It is amazing. It's one large park, comprised of several smaller areas (that have different names, to them) within the park.I love it so much - because no matter where you go, you feel like you're in a whole different park, with a whole different environment and foliage.Nathaneal Greene Park is also home to the Botanical Center of Springfield. It's a super neat nature center, with lots of awesome things, information, events, and even a rooftop-ish patio and gift shop.There is an old Schoolhouse, as well as an old 1800's house and farmstead setup, which is really cool - especially when they open them up, or you can go in and tour them, or when they have an event, utilizing them.Neighboring Nathaneal Greene Park is the Mizumoto Japanese Garden, which is a breathtaking sight, in and of itself! You won't want to miss the annual Japanese Fall Festival which is an amazing event that I never like to miss. #worthitTo get to the Japanese Garden, you drive into Nathaneal Greene Park, go to the left, and drive to the back, out near where the schoolhouse and homestead are. There's a decent sized parking lot back there, which is also a great place to start on one of the multiple trails that exist within the park.There's an area, Close Memorial (I believe is the name of that section of the park, that resembles the foliage and that of a Japanese style garden, containing several evergreen type trees, a bridge with a teeny pond, and gravel pathways that weave in and out between and amongst the trees. It's fun to just run around and feel like you're in a bit of a forest.There are two pavilions, at least 2 waterfountains, several areas with beautiful flower gardens, at least 2 larger playgrounds, and multiple other stops with plays capes for kids. One of the most beautiful things at the park (to me, anyway) is the gorgeous pond, and the bridge with the lovely waterfall, that faces Scenic Avenue.This park is a MUST SEE/MUST EXPERIENCE kind of park. There's a ton of space, lots of events planned within the community, and so many fun areas to explore.Park closes at Sunset, so make sure you can get to your car, before the gates to the park are closed.Playground: There are multiple places areas, all of which are fun. There are two larger ones, and some smaller ones spaced around the park. Lots of fun options!Restrooms: The only restrooms that I can think of, are either in the Botanical Center, when thats open, until like 5p. The others are right on the end of the large pavilion, near the largest playground.There is a third area over by the Pavilion, next to the (in front of the...) Japanese Gardens.Dog-friendliness: There are tons of dogs always being walked there. I believe there are dog stations for picking up after your furry friends.Picnic area: There are lots of places you could sit and have a picnic. There are two pavilions, lots of benches, or just shady areas. There are also some chairs in various spots, one or two areas in which overlook the pond.There's also another pavilion over by the Japanese Garden.

Angelica Martinez-Miranda: Love this park! Very well taken care of.Just make sure you are cautious where you step as it warms up. My 3 year old stepped on a pretty large black rat snake today. Luckily, it was pretty chill and didn’t strike just slithered away. I recommend to all my family and friends.

William Whaley: Great park ! Especially if you enjoy ornamental gardens.

Lewk Barx: Just did the date night in the gardens package for our anniversary. What a wonderful time. So romantic. Very thankful the park does this.

Brent Huff: Greenlawn Cemetery North handled my mother's funeral. Greenlawn did an amazing job and the staff was ultra professional. Every detail was addressed to perfection. I want to give a special shout out to Devin, who was extremely helpful and empathic during this very difficult time in our lives. I am forever grateful.

Susan Murphy: They are very kind to you during your sadness knowing that you are going to get through your sadness with time.We always remember how you treated us thank you so muchThe Murphy family

Jenn Johnson: Very pretty grounds, lots of big trees, very peaceful

CLEEVERIMAGES LLC: It's a very nice cemetery and it's huge. I found alot of nice stonework and interesting names here. The people frequening the cemetery seemed overly nosy though. So did the maintenance people. They didn't disturb me directly, but kept driving and walking by my car and staring at Kat, my girlfriend. Not very appropriate.

Julie Bailey: It's a nice Cemetery. They keep the grounds very nice. They have men all the way from the Civil war on up to now.

WALTER FREDERICK PARKHURST JR: I have always enjoyed visiting my Daddy’s grave as a little boy and even more now that I am in my 70s. I live out of state now and don’t get to visit as often as I would like to but today I noticed that there was a large chip out of his grave stone that has been there for some time now. His stone was obviously hit by a mower, WHY IF YOU HIT A VETERAN’S GRAVE STONE THAT HARD THAN REPLACE IT. My Daddy is MY NUMBER ONE HERO, he died when I was eighteen months old, and life was very rough growing up. Please replace his marker. His name is Walter Frederick Parkhurst. Thank you Walter Frederick Parkhurst Jr.

Bibin Mathew: Lives of great heroism, courage and honor rest here.

Angel Sauls: Extremely pleasant service.

James Schad: Has all the Christmas wreaths from wreaths across America for veterans graves locked up in a warehouse and refuse to put them out.

Ginny Blackmon: amazingThis is actually a response to skeptic. I know first hand that the people who bury loved ones here is A not doing community serviceB He takes his job seriously, and has nothing but the utmost respect for our fallen Hero s And as i said I know this first hand because I am married to Him. And second even if there are community service workers there, what does that matter? Have you never in life made a mistake? If you have not then be my guest judge away, but remember judge not lest you be judged. My husband does an amazing job and has more respect and love for the hero s he helps to their final resting place. I Have been out there picking up sticks off the graves for him because he has that much respect. He goes above and beyond what is required, because they deserve the best

Kirk McC: Beautiful in the Autumn.

Robert Kaiser: One of the nicest Cemetery's I've been in, manicured to the t , very nice, EASY to find

Mine Recommendation: I love visiting cemeteries. I really enjoyed this one. It has an area for military and civilians alike. Do yourself a favor and enjoy this one.

J S: Beautiful and peaceful

BRITTANY WEBER: Drive by here on the way to work today. It is Memorial Day! Flags are supposed to be at half mass to remember the fallen. Not full. For a military cemetery, as it claims on google. The people doing the flags should be more aware.

Dave Ryan: History

Ayres Ryder: This is a very nice cemetary to walk around in. It has a great feel to it and is always well groomed.

Skeptic Eevee: Unfortunately I have to give people the honest truth.To those who are thinking about having their loved one buried here...don'tThe people whom bury your loved one are there for community service. correct the ones burying your loved one do not care about properly doing anything and then lie about the hours those people have serviced at the facility as well. Bury your loved one at a place that respects the dead, the ceremonies, etc.This is not the same as hazelwood cemetery which is a better and yet slightly attached to this unfortunately ran mess. Avoid this place at all costs including those doing community service

Perry Elkins: Memorial day ceremonies are well done - but grounds are open to the public most days - can go pay your respects anytime.

Jeremy Nease: back in 01 the cemetery of national/ hazelwood/temple of isreal had a bad vandalism in the cemetery red paint covered the memorial wall memorial to confederate soldiers,stole several headstone's in hazelwood,an temple of isreal had every grave smashed since the va stepped in it been very well mantiand stop the hate why vandalize a grave of a person u don't even know why
