The Crown Jewel of Downtown Springfield renewal
Jordan Valley Park is a green oasis in downtown Springfield at 635 E. Trafficway, between the Jordan Valley Ice Park and Hammons Field. Once a blighted industrial area, the park was born from Springfield's Vision 20/20 long-range plan, which helped spur downtown renewal in the 1990s and 2000s. The 15-acre park opened in 2002 with a mix of open plazas, rolling hills, play features, picnic areas, walking paths and the tumbling Ozarks Stream and Fountain.
Check out the K-Man kinetic sculpture, the Springfield Wagon and climbing rock play areas, the Rotary Picnic Area and Outdoor Classroom, Jordan Valley Greenway, the Creamery Arts Center and other hidden gems in the park. Follow the greenway west to nearby
Founders Park.
Admission is free and parking is available at Jordan Valley Ice Park. The park and the Jordan Valley Maintenance Building patio are available for rentals and special events.
