About the Business
Big Spring Park, located at 209 North High Street in Neosho, Missouri, is a picturesque park and popular tourist attraction in the area. The park is known for its unique features, including a stunning floral clock, a historic Grecian stage from the 1920s, a kids wading pool, and a trout and koi pond where visitors can enjoy feeding the fish. Big Spring Park is a favorite spot for weddings due to its natural beauty, and city officials have recently revitalized the park as a venue for community events.
The history of Big Spring Park dates back to 1895 when generous donors Lee D. Bell and J.M. Sherwood donated twelve lots along the bluff of Big Spring Drive, laying the foundation for the park. The City of Neosho purchased the park in 1903 and acquired the spring in 1927 through a bond. Over the years, various additions have been made to the park, including the Grecian theater, children's wading pool, and a beautiful floral clock at the entrance.
In 1973, the park expanded with the purchase of the property that once housed Big Spring Inn, adding a trout pool to its recreational offerings. The Abbott Brothers Big Spring Park Fund was established in 1946 to help improve and maintain the park for the benefit of the community. With its rich history, beautiful features, and community events, Big Spring Park is a must-visit destination in Neosho.
Reviews
"It's absolutely beautiful there is waterfall a running spring and beautiful trout to feed"
"The spring itself is beautiful, it's got some nice little walking paths and a small cavern entrance where you can see the natural spring water come up from an underground creek bed. It's a very neat little park. Getting to see the spotted trout in the stream was pretty awesome too!"
"Beautiful park. I'm not sure if it's allowed but would be great place for the kids to play in the water on a hot day. There is a machine fish food pellets to feed the fish for a quarter. Interesting place/history."
"The spring isn’t really big but it is a nice park. There is a playground for kids and lots of pretty flowers to see. There is also a small trout tank area across the street."
"Really nice park! Hiking trails, natural springs, caves, kids swimming pool, playground, restrooms, picnic tables, stage and lots of flora and fauna. Really close to downtown area which has several local restaurants, bars and gift shops. Worth an afternoon trip from Northwest Arkansas. Recommend!"
