What a fun little park. We have been looking around to find a bike track park for our little ones and this hit the spot. Restrooms: Basic outdoors restrooms Picnic area: Shelter
A beautiful park in Springfield residential neighborhood. The Brookfield Park Pond is the centerpiece of the park created for storm water drainage and wildlife habitat protection.
My three young kids and I visited to check out the bike pump track. There was a small parking lot with Porta potties nearby. To get to the playground and the track, we walked up a small hill following the trail past the large pavilion with picnic tables and charcoal grills. The playground was small, but shaded with a couple of benches around it. There was a lot of climbing equipment and a couple of things that spun. On the farther side of the playground was a basketball court, and just beyond that was the pump track. While the playground and basketball court were shaded around 11 to 12, the track was in full sun. Nonetheless my nine year old loved it! It was nice to have a playground area right nearby for the younger ones who weren't up to navigating the pump track. I was able to sit next to the basketball court and see both areas fairly well. We plan on going back to play and further check out the trail to the pond another time.
A friend had a party here. Unfortunately the staff was not aware of the time of the reservation, so they had to clean and leaf blow until 15 minutes before the party, however. It’s a great place for kids, the playground area is fantastic and very different than a normal setup, it also has a fantastic bike run.
Our first family visit was a short one. We had been out exploring all day and it was close to dark. We grabbed some pizzas and headed here hoping to find some picnic tables and we did. We had time to check out the pond and it was pretty cool. Well kept little area. We plan on taking the kids back to explore here when we have more daylight.
I took my dog here today and was not impressed. I didn't stay long and I probably didn't even see half of what is there. What I did see was a pathetic broken handicap porta potty that is so broken it would give the user no privacy. There's a covered patio that was in use today. I walked down with my dog to the pond and was going to walk around it. There is this weird concrete pattern with holes, I'm not sure if it's to prevent flooding or just to look good but it was not dog friendly. My dog didn't realize there were holes and kept stumbling on them. There's also a trail of some sort but it started off so steeply I didn't want to force my dog up the stairs.
Nice shaded area with 3 small gar b que grills, plenty of tables under a roof, basketball court, walking paths, located in a quiet neighborhood but no building bathroom facilities only portable johns.
Possibly not the best pump track, but a pump track in a crazy urban area that is open to the public. This alone is worth 5 stars on the parks and services commission's planning/development department.
Such a lovely park with a beautiful view of the pond. Several picnic tables and grills available. There's a parking but Google maps wouldn't take you there.
Worst experience at this play ground so many bugs and flys there’s literally a hornets nest next to the park
