Wallace M. Ruff Jr. Memorial Park

This is my personal favorite with the extensive magnolia collection and peaceful layout. It’s been fun to watch it evolve and come together over the last years as it’s been developed. If it’s been a few year since you’ve visited it’s well worth seeing what’s new. The circular paved path makes it easy to Enjoy a quick stroll or spend time relaxing on one of the many benches or Picnic in the grass.

Beautiful! Basically a magnolia park and the creek only runs during the rainy season but it's a beautiful little loop which would be fantastic for picnics or maybe weddings. Half way down the trail there is even a patch of eucalyptus trees which smelt fantastic! I almost looked up expecting a koala. Picnic tables and benches throughout

What a botanical wonderland...easy paths with beautiful plantings everywhere. Obviously a labor of community love.

This is by far my favorite park to take my kiddos to! It's always clean and we have fun finding/hiding painted rocks ud83dude0a

Quiet, peaceful park. This is the time of year to visit. Magnolias are blooming and the park is changing day by day as different varieties take center stage. Springfield's best kept secret.
