Gehrmann Park, about 3 acres in area, is located in north central Springfield, four blocks west of Enos Park, within the city’s Medical District. Bordering the park are Second Street on the west, Third Street on the east, Calhoun Street on the south, and homes on the north. A. The park is one of several typical neighborhood parks with mature trees that create a very pleasant park-like character. It is primarily used by neighborhood children and medical workers from the area.
Gehrmann Park has a centrally-located playground. A restroom facility is in the north central area and picnic tables are scattered through the park. The northern boundary is fenced from the adjacent homes. Sidewalks border the streets and four-foot wide asphalt walks curve through the park, fitting with the site topography. Ample parking is provided along the bordering streets. Large oak and maple trees through the park provide continuous overhead canopies in many areas.
