SummaryFree public park and playground.
Lincoln Park is being redeveloped by the Springfield Park District as a fully inclusive community destination centered on accessible recreation for children of all abilities. Official project details mention a state-of-the-art inclusive playground with textured surfacing, sensory play panels, and tactile elements, plus nearby shelters, a trike path, nature-inspired courts, bench swings, pollinator gardens, story walk elements, and added seating. Compared with a basic neighborhood playground, this project reads as a broader destination-style park experience with more room for mixed-age outings and longer stays.
