Fassnight Creek Greenway
Fassnight Creek Greenway is in the heart of Springfield, south and west of downtown and Missouri State University. It currently passes through Fassnight Park, and goes under Campbell, Bennett and Jefferson avenues, and connects by road to Phelps Grove Park. It will eventually be extended west to Jordan Creek and Wilson's Creek greenways and east to the Springfield Art Museum. Phelps Grove Park is a stop along The Link, a 7-mile north/south bicycle-pedestrian route connecting Doling Park to Twin Oaks Park.
POINTS OF INTEREST: Fassnight Park's beautiful historic native Ozarks rock vernacular architecture is used on the park's bridges and its gorgeous historic rock poolhouse; Fassnight Creek winds through the wooded park and hosts a variety of wildlife and native plantings; Phelps Grove Park is another beloved historic Springfield park, showcasing a unique native Ozarks rock pavilion; Springfield Skate Park; and you'll spy a mural created in collaboration with Watershed Committee of the Ozarks.
