Holyoke seeks input on Springdale Park master plan; playground is ‘out of code, not fun and showing its age’ Updated 1:09 PM; The department held a listening session Thursday at the park, and launched an online survey. Built around 1895, Springdale remains Holyoke’s largest park, with several baseball fields, two spray pads, and a vast expanse of green space. Parks Department Director Terry Sheppard said Springdale is showing wear and tear, especially around the faded, outdated playground area. The master plan project began two years ago. Sheppard said the initial plan was to bolster safety and limit vehicle access to the park. With limited parking spaces, some visitors drive their cars over the curb on Main Street and park on the grass. “It hasn’t been safe on busy weekend days,” she said. “No one is here to say, ‘get off the field.’”
