A New Playground is Coming to Lindbergh Park!

6/5/2025

Springfield, IL – Big changes are coming to the southwest side of Springfield! The Springfield Park District is excited to announce a brand-new, inclusive playground coming soon to Lindbergh Park, located at 2419 Lindbergh Boulevard.

Installed in 1992, the current playground at Lindbergh Park has served the community well; however, it lacks features accessible to children with developmental disabilities. That’s about to change.

This long-awaited upgrade will transform the play space into a welcoming, inclusive, and dynamic environment designed for children of all abilities. The new design ensures that every child can experience the joy of outdoor play together.

What’s Coming to Lindbergh Park:

  • Cozy Dome – A fun and safe space to climb, hide, and explore
  • Double Bobble Spring Rider – Great for cooperative and sensory play
  • Double Slide – A classic playground favorite with room for two
  • Saddle Spinner Seat – Adds fun spinning action for all abilities
  • Accessible Ramp with Guardrails and Curbs – Inclusive access for children with mobility needs

These new features are designed to encourage social interaction, physical activity, and imaginative play in a safe and inclusive setting.

This enhancement project reflects the Springfield Park District’s ongoing commitment to accessibility, equity, and community connection. By investing in modern, inclusive play equipment, we’re not just building a playground – we’re building a space where friendships are made, laughter is shared, and every child feels seen and supported.

Stay tuned for updates and a grand opening announcement!
