It Happened in Springfield

In 1974, the City of Springfield and the Park Board initiated efforts to secure funding for the acquiring and enhancement of a parcel of land south of Springfield Elementary, aiming to establish a new park. They reached out to Springfield residents for donations and fundraising ideas. Soon after the announcement, the Park Board began to receive contributions and support for fundraisers from local residents, businesses, and organizations. Proceeds from spaghetti dinners, grants, raffles, and the sale of various items brought the vision of the new park closer to reality. Even after Buffalo Park was established, donations continued to flow in for further park improvements. All of this was made possible by the generous support of the Springfield community.
