Parks & Recreation

Parks

Neosho parks offer a place to relax and enjoy. View a list of our parks and what they have to offer.

Additional areas in the Parks complex include Crystal Springs. Formerly a roadside stop on the State Highway system and very popular in the 1950s and 1960s, it remains a pleasant, restful area nestled at the foot of one of the many Ozark hills. Sitting just off the edge of a retail district and next to the Municipal Golf Course, this park offers an accessible retreat for lunch or a quick break. Life is peaceful in Neosho.

Neosho Stream Guide

Neosho is blessed with a number of streams, many of which are formed by the abundance of springs. These many springs are the inspiration for the logo "City of Springs", and include names such as:

• Bell's Iron Spring
• Bethesda Spring
• Big Spring (originally known as Clark's Spring)
• Birch Spring
• Brock's Spring
• Carter Spring
• Hatchery Spring
• Hobo Spring
• McElhany Spring
• Mertin Spring
• Morse Spring
• Sevier's Spring

Streams formed by these springs include Hickory Creek and Big Spring. These streams are major features of the city park system and are tributaries of Shoal Creek.
