Good morning, Springfield.

Construction has begun today on a new park in the Engaged Neighborhood on Springfield's southwest side, where phase one will add pickleball and basketball courts and a drinking fountain by mid-winter — funded by the Land Bank’s $500,000 investment at the former Euclid Elements site. Future phases will expand the park with playground equipment and affordable housing as community partners work to raise additional funds.

Beloved MetroPark horse Bogey died—he was key in preserving Carriage Hill MetroPark’s history.
