Cool place. Definitely needs some clean up to say the least. I wouldn’t let your young kids go there alone that’s for sure!

The bike trail is nice. But unfortunately the stretch from avocado st to downtown is sketchy. Alot of homeless and drug addicts on and off the trail. Rode past a few needles on the actual trail. Don't feel comfortable on it. Born and raised in Springfield also. But I would rather go to Westfield or Northampton.

Nice views from the walkways. It was a little confusing on how to get to the walkway with the construction. I didn't go far, but the pathway for walkers and bikers were nicely paved. Also, only two pieces of playground equipment not much for kids to play on. Plenty of seating, nice place to visit, there was one section I passed that could have been trimmed more. Weather hasn't been the best lately, so it could be better later in the season. Keep in mind that the train right behind it can be a little disturbing if you're looking for a quiet walk.

Nice spot to take pictures.

Don't go here on the 4th of July, someone rents out the whole park (somehow renting a public walkway for a party) and you cannot use the path.

Any other time of year, its a good walk.
