Phelps Grove Park

Cruse Dog Park is Springfield, Missouri's first off-leash dog park. The park, which was officially 'unleashed' in November 2008, is a 6-acre, enclosed playground where dogs can run, play, interact, and exercise off-leash.

Bark Yard is a one-of-a-kind gathering spot for dog lovers. An off-leash dog park on 3+ acres of lovely green area with mature trees and walking pathways, as well as a bar terrace providing a complete menu of food, beer, and wine, are among the amenities. Bark Yard also provides dog daycare and boarding services seven days a week.

This community park featuring ball fields and picnic spots is bordered by a creek and WPA-era stone bridges.

A rural park of 245 acres just northwest of Springfield municipal boundaries. Playground, picnic pavilion, paths, woodlands, lake, streams, sand volleyball court, and archery range are among the amenities available.
