I joined a few years ago and have met some great people…read more We love going there to eat with the kids because it's so affordable, and we don't have to worry about them bothering anyone. The homemade pizza is very good, the appetizers are always a hit, and the patty melt is especially good. Every time we walk in, everyone is so friendly. If you sit at the bar, people around you will usually greet you and say hello. Even when you sit down at the gaming machines, everyone is friendly and often cheering each other on to win, which really adds to the sense of community. We also use the pool, and the kids absolutely love it in the summer. The Sunday Fundays are always a great time--they usually have a band out by the pool and tiki bar, plus a food window so you don't have to go inside to order. I highly recommend this place for friendship, a place to hang out, enjoying the pool, or just spending money knowing it's going to a good cause.

Review Visit: September 27th, 2016…read more I have been to Springfield, IL quite a few times, so it came to me as a surprise that there was a Memorial Garden/Nature Center dedicated to Abraham Lincoln. So, on a beautiful fall day, I decided to make a trip there and see what it was about. Talk about picking a perfect day to walk a perfect place. Parked my car, grabbed my outdoorsy hat and went walking. You could say that this place is split in two, with a section around the Nature Center and a section all on its own. There were only a few people on the trail and they were friendly. It was an enjoyable walk around the Nature Center section. Even saw two fawn play around while their mother fed. If you like to walk some easy trails while enjoying nature, this place needs to be on your list.

Only a sign that says no drugs or alcohol, and cameras in use. Sparrows . I've even taken my son and his wife and been watched while we fished. Not one word ever said. Then this past mother's day I'm fishing on mother's day again, and I'm told I'm trespassing and it's posted. No sir. It's not. I do not trespass when it's posted. So post it or let me fish in peace
