Discover Springfield

Springfield combines a focus on water with discoveries in the surrounding area: Orion Lagoon is in town, while Robelle Domain and Springfield Markets offer further places to visit. This lets you plan your trip around the experiences that interest you most—from pools of varying depths to picnics, land art and market stalls. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can consider whether Springfield itself or the attractions in the surrounding area will shape your stay.

Water experiences at Orion Lagoon

The connected pools at Orion Lagoon range from 0.3 metres deep for toddlers to 1.5 metres for more confident swimmers. Their varying depths offer a practical point of reference for anyone looking to include water experiences in their travel plans. The Aquativity area, with its water jets and stepping stones, adds a playful touch.

The landscaping around the pools is also part of the facility’s appeal: shady lawns with colourful shade sails and trees provide a green contrast to the water. There is also a covered barbecue pavilion with picnic tables. At Orion Lagoon, the pools, shaded areas to relax and a place for a picnic are all central features. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment for your stay in Springfield, you can consider the Lagoon as one of the specific places that might shape the mix of outings you’re looking for.

Robelle Domain: Green spaces and land art

Robelle Domain is located in the area around Springfield. The park covers 24 hectares and includes more than 11 kilometres of boardwalks, sports fields, walking trails and playgrounds, as well as Orion Lagoon. Its distinctive features include shaded picnic areas and land-art pyramids. The combination of art installations and green spaces gives the park its own character: alongside trails and play areas, there is art to discover in the landscape.

An evening light-and-sound show is also one of Robelle Domain’s attractions, but it is currently out of operation for maintenance. If the show is important to your outing plans, check the latest event details before visiting.

Springfield Markets: Breakfast, stalls and entertainment

At Springfield Markets, held at Robelle Domain in the surrounding area, visitors can get coffee and breakfast. The stalls offer handmade homewares, food, jewellery and gifts. The market combines food and browsing: you can factor it into your plans for the breakfast as well as the variety of goods on offer.

The market also features live music and a jumping castle for children. If you’re visiting the markets with children, live music and a jumping castle are part of the entertainment. Check the latest event details before planning a visit. The combination of breakfast, stalls, music and a jumping castle makes a market outing different from a stay focused mainly on the pools or park trails.

Plan your stay around your interests

When choosing a holiday apartment in Springfield, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on. Would you like Orion Lagoon—with its connected pools, Aquativity area and shady lawns—to play an important role? Or would you also like to consider attractions in the surrounding area, such as the picnic areas and land-art pyramids at Robelle Domain and Springfield Markets? The range of options lets you choose deliberately based on the experiences that matter to you, rather than building your trip around a single activity.

There are also differences within these options: the Lagoon has pools ranging from 0.3 to 1.5 metres deep and an area with water jets and stepping stones; the park brings together boardwalks, sports fields, walking trails, playgrounds and land art. The markets add breakfast, coffee, stalls and entertainment. This comparison can help you describe the mix you want for your stay. If the evening show would be an essential part of your plans, note that it is currently out of operation for maintenance.
