“I like Rotary Park because there isn’t a lot of traffic where the playground is. The playground is nice without being too spread out for us with several children!” ~ Carol K.

“Small and cozy, close proximity to west end shopping complexes.” ~Melissa S.

Rotary Park, encompassing 40 acres, is on the southwest side of Springfield. It is bordered by West Iles Avenue on the south, Archer Elevator Road on the east, and by residential development on the north and west. 
The park contains 3 baseball fields clustered in the site’s northeast quadrant, soccer and football fields and a half-court basketball court. Two tennis courts are in the center of the loop road. A picnic shelter is provided on the park’s west side and a large concession/restroom/picnic shelter is provided on the park’s east side. A 4,000 foot pedestrian trail interconnects the park facilities and extends along Archer Elevator Road. Vehicular access and parking is provided by a loop road with adjacent parking through the center of the park. The entrance is off West Iles Avenue.
The park is well used for league sports and periodically overflow parking must be accommodated on the turf along Iles Avenue.
