Washington Park Evening Walk


Details
Washington Park on the west side of Springfield is a 150-acre site added to the park district in 1901, and is one of the few parks that does not close at sunset. This is one of the area's historic parks, developed as termini of the urban trolley line in use at the time. Designed by Ossian Simonds, noted for his naturalistic style of landscape design, the park is on the National Register of Historic Places. The park has rolling terrain, large trees and wooded areas, some deep ravines and two man-made lagoons.
I have a 2.9 mile route laid out that winds through the park, using the paved paths and roads.
We'll start promptly at 5:30 pm, please adjust your RSVP if you have a last minute change.
Apres' Hike location: Dublin Pub, 1975 Wabash Avenue, just 6 minutes from the parking lot at Washington Park. We're taking advantage of their half-price one-topping pizza special! This will be listed as a separate Meetup event, please RSVP for it on that event page.
