Springfield Park Board members and others cut the ribbon as Douglas Park is now Duncan Park Photo: Saga Communications
Exit Stephen Douglas, enter Otis Duncan as the namesake for one of Springfield’s best-known parks.
Duncan was born in 1873. The son of a Springfield grocer, he went on to become one of the highest ranking African American officers in the military by the end of World War I.
Colonel Duncan had descendants on hand for Tuesday’s ribbon cutting. Gale Lynn Borders’ great grandfather was Duncan’s first cousin. “I always heard stuff growing up about my family, and then, as the time went by, we started hearing more and more,” she said.

New Housing, Retail Will Energize Post-Pandemic San Francisco
From one perspective, San Francisco’s Mid-Market has faced tough times during the pandemic. It has little foot traffic. Cafes, restaurants and once busy retail businesses have closed. There is the sense of abandonment often associated with the city’s downtown.
But the past year has laid the groundwork for Mid-Market’s resurgence. The new construction on Market Street between 8
th and Mason Streets is striking. Nearly everything approved for the area is now finished or near-completion and I foresee a huge improvement once the pandemic ends.
