A Primer To Huntsman Park, Springfield

There is limited street parking on the north side of the lake, and the waters here are mostly lined by forest. The Dorothy Lane entrance on the south side of the lake has limited street parking, basketball courts, picnicking, a playground and a paved network of trails. It is a walk of a few hundred yards from this park area to the lake.
