Five Mile Pond Park — Attraction in Springfield

It was phenomenal, honestly. I was there with my brother and we went kayaking together. The water was very warm and very clean. We even started communicating with a family when we pulled onto the shore to take a quick break heading back across the lake where the car was parked. It was a mother and father with their 2 kids and they asked to try the kayaks out and we immediately said yea sure. So we assisted them into the kayaks and explained the few key details for maneuvering safely when on the water and they all did great. It really was a pretty amazing...

It was nice and clean Enough to swim in. Although I just went fishing. I just wish there wasn't so much branch in the way may line kept getting hooked. Aside from that it was free to enter and park it's a nice place to spend time with family friends and loved ones. They even had a porta potty and the police and security took turns protecting five Mile pond...

Not a bad place to go to. There are ducks and geese for kids to see. There is a small playground for children. There is a small picnic area. The lifeguards and staff are excellent. I only gave it 3 stars because the portapotty needs to be cleaned, sanitized, and restocked. Also, 5 Mile Pond can, at times, be frequented by some...
