About Stuart Park

Stuart Park is a 38-acre public park in the northwest part of Springfield, near the airport. The Springfield Park District added it in 1988, and the land is leased from the Springfield Airport Authority. The park has two ball fields, a soccer field that overlaps one of them, a picnic shelter, a playground, and a prairie planting. Paved lots provide parking, and trails lead to two dog park areas and a small pond in the southwest corner. A paved trail also connects the picnic area to the southeast corner of the park. Many trees have been planted around the lots and nearby homes.
