Iles Park — Attraction in Springfield

Review Date: May 12th, 2015

This blog has m’Iles’ and m’Iles’ of city park reviews.

Why do I visit and review city parks? There’s quite a few reasons. One, I was a kid once and loved to visit the park every chance I could.

So yes Google I visited quite a few times and I always have a great experience today was worth writing a review...thanks for letting me know, you know, where I...

This used to be a good quiet park years ago and I felt comfortable bringing my kids to it but now there's so much riff raff that goes there it's unbearable. My son and grand daughters came to visit and we met there so the kids could play. In the pavilion was a bunch of people smoking weed, music was loud, and they were fighting.

It's like they nor the cop had any regard for the other...
