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, goes under Campbell, Bennett and Jefferson avenues, and connects by road to Phelps Grove Park. The trail travels through Phelps Grove Park and continues to the Springfield Art Museum. It will eventually be extended west to Jordan Creek and Wilson’s Creek Greenway trails. Phelps Grove Park is a stop along The Link, a 7-mile north/south bicycle-pedestrian route connecting Doling Park to Twin Oaks Park.
