We have character! This hip old loft has seen skating's best, including TONY HAWK TWICE! Thanks to Scheels, we have a NEW batting cage and golf simulator! Bring the whole team, save a ton of money, and be the envy of the tournament. More practice and better rest will put you in the winners circle!

The space
We just added a batting cage and 30K+ golf courses to our famous skatepark for your healthy entertainment, and if you book with us it is FREE for you to enjoy!

The area is an inner city location and there is some street noise, but we are only 5 or 10 minutes to everything in town including the Scheels Sport Park! We also have a large pollinator space out back that is peaceful, and a good place to cook out. There is a fire pit, a grill and several picnic tables for you to use.

If you need more space or privacy, there are 3 spaces for you to choose from with their own kitchens and baths. The one you are looking at, "Work in Progress", has six very comfy beds, and it is the most luxurious and historic. "Expand", is a two bedroom, and "Express" has 1 comfy Queen bed. All spaces have access to the Skatepark, Golf Simulator and Batting Cage.

Book all three to bring the whole team, or mix and match to fit your needs. Check out these additional links below...

Guest access
Guests have the entire second level to themselves for complete privacy. They also have access to the new Batting cage, Golf simulator and Skatepark located on the first floor below the Airbnb's! These are all closed to the public when guests are staying, unless you want to share and open them up!!!

All living/sleeping spaces are completely private, with only a shared exit. Guests are welcome to use our gardens, dog walks and BBQ grills. There is also a firepit, picnic tables and a black razzberry patch out back. You will have a free run on almost a half city block that is commonly described as an "Oasis" or "Diamond in the Rough"!

Other things to note
There are 2 other available apartments that adjoin the main space via an enclosed porch. One or both can be rented to provide more space and privacy! Both have full baths and very comfortable beds. Skateboard1 or "Express" has a beautiful 5 burner gas stove and oven, and Skateboard 2 or "Expand" has a big toaster oven, microwave and full sized fridge.

"Project Southtown...Express", is a one bed room, and "Project Southtown...Expand", is a two bed room unit!

These are NEW listings! Add them to your stay for a 6 star experience!

Neighborhood highlights

We are in the middle of everything Springfield...Just minutes from Scheels, Lincoln's home, the State Fairgrounds and Airport. The new Amtrak station is w/in walking distance, and will be up and running next year. The best Sushi (one block) and Mexican (three blocks) are also only a short walk away, along with the only 24/7 fast food in town.

Southtown was Springfield's first subdivision. It was a lively place with it's own movie theater, library, banks and bars. The old movie marquees has been restored, and we provide the night life!

My work: Project Southtown
Fun fact: Tony Hawk loved the layout of my ramps!
I took an abandon part of town and turned it into a paradise for those who seek the spectacular! This urban street corner is home to the WORLDS oldest continuously operating skatepark! Now we have added a batting cage and a golf simulator where you can play up to 30,000 different courses! Top it all off with over 40K old school video games, the pool table and the HOT TUB and you have the friendliest Airbnb in town! 3 private spaces available!
