Springfield Park is a vibrant community green space located within the Westwood Shopping Center development, which features a mix of multi- and single-family housing, retail, and other non-residential uses. The developer-built park was acquired in 2025 and also includes land dedicated for the future Willet Branch Greenway, enhancing regional connectivity and recreation opportunities.

Built on the site of a former parking lot, the 20,000-square-foot park offers thoughtfully designed amenities for all ages. Families can enjoy a 4,500-square-foot playground with separate play areas for children ages 2–5 and 5–12, while a picnic shelter with two tables provides a comfortable spot for gatherings. Visitors will also find benches, a bike rack, an open lawn area for relaxation or informal play, and accessible pathways that make the park easy to navigate.
