nice and clean

Washington Park in the west of Springfield was founded in 1901 and nowadays hosts various facilities as walking trails, two ponds, a playground, a tennis center and last but not least, the botanical garden of Springfield.

At the southern end of Lincoln Park, this pond is the perfect spot for a little rest. Take a stroll over the small bridge or just have a seat at one of the benches and watch the water fountains.

Nice park in the very southwest of Springfield and very close to the Sangamon Valley Trailhead. The park includes a playground, baseball fields, a dog park and much more. Very nice spot to enjoy a warm afternoon.

Coming from the northwest direction, this bridge (crossing the Sugar Creek) is the first of two bridges on the Lost Bridge Trail. Actually, this one is the 'new' Sugar Creek Bridge, as the old one was removed for recycling after the abandonment and had to be replaced - that's also where the name of the trail comes from.

As one of two bridges of the Lost Bridge Trail, this bridge crosses the South Fork of the Sangamon River. In contrast to the Sugar Creek Bridge, this one is still the original and an important remnant of the trail's railroading history.

More or less at the halfway point of Lewis Park & Trails loop, this bench is a nice spot to take a little rest and enjoy the surrounding nature.

Nice city to spend 1 day Route 66
