Springfield: Lagoon, Park and Markets

Springfield and its highlights

When choosing Springfield as a destination for a hotel stay, two locations are useful starting points: Orion Lagoon is in Springfield itself, while Robelle Domain and Springfield Markets are in the surrounding area. This lets you distinguish between the water areas in town and the park and market offerings nearby. These themes offer different points of reference as you consider what interests you most about Springfield.

Orion Lagoon: pools, shade and picnic areas

The interconnected pools at Orion Lagoon range in depth from 0.3 metres for toddlers to 1.5 metres for more confident swimmers. The facility caters to all age groups. Its features include a gently sloping, beach-style pool edge and the Aquativity area, with spray jets and stepping stones. The depth information and different areas give you a clear idea of the water spaces.

The areas around the pools are also part of the offering: there are shaded lawn areas with colourful shade sails and trees, as well as a covered barbecue pavilion with picnic tables. So, alongside the water areas, there are also places to take a break or have a picnic. When planning, you can distinguish between the features of the interconnected pools and the lawn and picnic areas described here.

Robelle Domain: paths, playgrounds and land art

In the area surrounding Springfield, Robelle Domain covers 24 hectares. The park includes more than 11 kilometres of boardwalks, sports fields, walking trails and playgrounds; Orion Lagoon is also part of the park. These areas offer different attractions: boardwalks and walking trails sit alongside sports fields and playgrounds. Shaded picnic areas and land-art pyramids add places to relax and outdoor art to the park’s features.

Another special feature is the evening light and sound show at Robelle Domain. It is currently out of operation due to maintenance work. If you are planning a visit to the park, check the latest status of the show, as its stated operating status may change over time.
