It’s FINALLY spring - it’s time to get outside!
This Local Park Spotlight is highlighting one of the most loved local parks in Springfield: Sequiota Park, located on 28 acres in the Galloway area of Southeast Springfield.
We love this park because there is a variety of things to do and see at this park:
- Explore a cave - bring a flashlight or use the flashlight on your phone (the caves are blocked off though to protect the bat population)
- Watch the ducks, geese, and swans swim in the ponds
- Play at one of the two playground areas (one is more targeted to smaller kids)
- Hike one of many nature trails (there are some steep areas, so make sure you have good shoes for that)
- Stroll around the ponds along the stroller friendly paths
- Bike, walk, or run on the Ozark Greenways Trail at the Galloway Creek Greenway access at the park
- Have a picnic at a covered pavillion or on a blanket on the grass (there is a lot of space for this)
- Expend some energy running in the wide open grassy spaces
The park can be crowded on a nice spring day, but it is large enough that you can find something to do. This will become a go-to park for you and your family, if it isn’t already!
