What We Love About J.R. Martin Park

J.R. Martin Park in Republic, is a great spot for Springfield area families to play! Spanning 24 acres, it features a large playground area, a ¾ mile paved walking trail, tennis courts, and picnic areas with grills. The park's mature oak trees provide shade, and the Republic Veterans Memorial offers a reflective space. Parents will appreciate the pavilion and amphitheater for gatherings and live performances. With amenities like restrooms and ample parking, it's a convenient and enjoyable destination for family outings in Southwest Missouri.
