The Wellness Trail begins on the north side of the ALMH building and
can be picked up from the east parking lot next to Springfield Clinic. If
the lot would happen to be full, you can park in a different lot and get
more than the .88-mile trail walk.

The new Abraham Lincoln Memorial
Hospital Wellness Trail opened to the
community in fall 2016 and offers an .88-
mile loop as an extension of the ALMH
healing gardens.
The trail was gifted to the community by
the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital
Foundation in direct response to the
ongoing need to incorporate more
physical activity into the lifestyle of the
community members.
It provides a venue for reflection and
connection with nature and a place for
employees to recharge. The trail includes
three boardwalk bridges and a
pergola, a pond and fountain and a
vantage point, named the “Healthy
Outlook.”
Improvements will continue through 2017
to add to the beauty of this community
gem.
