The park is really big with plenty of outdoor activities. Doling Park is a Springfield gem. I would definitely keep Doling Park Family Center in mind for future activities.

Playing, and entertaining the children, and it's free! There's never usually a wait for machines, place is clean, and no "muscle head's." Awesome court to play anything you like from basketball, volleyball even badminton!.. They have a lot of free aerobic classes, and a fantastic pool area. I would give this place 5 star's, but what's holding me back , is they use paper towels for cleaning instead of cloth, and their vending machine doesn't have lot's of healthy options. Other than that. I love this place!

One of the only places to see any type of sizable event in Springfield and they've had and continue…read moreto have good shows here. That being said this place has some pretty big issues, at least to me. Their sound system sucks. Plain and simple. I went once and the building's PA system that they were speaking over was popping and cracking like a piece of wet firewood. I thought, "Surely they'll get that fixed before the next show, because that was no good." The next time I went to an event almost 6 months later they hadn't replaced the system and the speakers actually went out about 15 minutes into the show. Which pretty much ruined the whole night. Another time I was at a show there and went to the bathroom on the first floor. Every urinal and stall was taken but one. I opened the door and it looked like someone had backed into the stall after eating eating 50 Exlax laced White Castle Sliders and washed down with a couple of gallons of coffee and had their ass explode. It was one of the 3 nastiest things I've ever seen in person. I swear that the toilet had been filled to overflowing with crap and it was on the floor and walls of the stall. I didn't know that a single human being could hold that much feces. Either that or someone was running through the bathroom with a 5 gallon bucket of chilli, tripped,and dumped the contents into the toilet. At any rate, ever since that night the first floor men's bathroom at the Shrine Mosque no longer exists in my mind. It has been edited out of my universe. I realize that this was an isolated incident, but it was horrible. If I could have given 2.5 stars I would have, but it's not bad enough for 2 stars.

This building houses the Abou Ben Adhem Shriners which I am a member of. Where I understand a lot…read moreof people do not understand what the Shriners do, I'm not going to explain a whole lot of it here but would love to explain it to you if you have any questions and will also provide a link at the end of this to help explain more about that. The Shrine Mosque was built in 1923 and in 1982 was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Besides Shriner events it houses tons of other concerts and events. It almost seems that there is something going on every weekend there. I just helped out for the past two weekends as a clown at the Shrine Circus. It is a very unique old building that several of our past Presidents have visited and Elvis Presley even played. At the time it was built it was the largest Shrine west of the Mississippi and it's stage size was only second to the Metropolitan Opera stage in New York City. The main auditorium seating is right under 5,000 people with a basement area that other events are held at that can seat over 1,500. So next time you find your self at a concert, circus, or the "Vines at the Shrine" make sure you look up, around, and take in all of the nostalgia that makes this building a old gem in our city. oh ya, if you are curious about what the Shriners do and where we came from, here's a good link or you are welcome to just ask me... http://www.abashrine.com/info.htm
