Confirmed from Springfield Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Lakeside park on 117 acres with football fields, disc golf & a playground, plus an R/C airfield.
What runners say about Springfield Park
“The presence of a playground and well-maintained restrooms with accessible facilities makes it a comfortable stop for families and individuals alike.”
“A small lake or creek adds to the scenic beauty, while opportunities for fishing and birdwatching provide leisure activities for visitors.”
I live close by so I take my nightly walks around the ponds. It's so beautiful and so many people do the same thing. So it's good to see a lot of the same faces every night.
Great place to walk/ride bike, clean, and relaxing. You can also bring your kid's to play and they have a restroom.
Awesome park/public land. Decent fishing in either pond for bass, catfish, and bluegill/sunfish. Next to Rowlett Creek. I came to fish and do yoga, but it is good for jogging, exercise, bird watching, photography, and walks as well. Clean!
We were traveling and needed a place to stop to walk the dog. A nice park with a small lake/creek. Saw people fishing and bird watching. A nice playground and nice restrooms with flushing toilets. Handicapped accessible.
