About the Venue

Lindbergh Park's new inclusive playground was announced by the Springfield Park District in 2025 as a full replacement for an older play area that lacked accessible features for children with developmental disabilities. Official plans highlight an accessible ramp with guardrails and curbs, a saddle spinner seat, a double bobble spring rider, a cozy dome, and a double slide. For families seeking a simpler neighborhood stop rather than a large destination park, this is one of Springfield's clearest current inclusive-playground projects backed by the local park district.
