Springfield pursues funding for $2M renovation of Greenleaf Park

Officials are pursuing federal and city funding for an estimated $2 million improvement project at Greenleaf Park in Sixteen Acres including new play equipment, water sprays and walking trails. With support from Mayor Domenic J. Sarno, the Park Commission voted last week to approve an application for a $1 million grant for the project. The grant is federally funded under the Land and Water Conservation Fund, administered by the state through the Department of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
