About Fair Play

Fair Play is a quiet, small-town community in southwest Missouri with around 400 residents. The town got its memorable name back in the 1850s after the founder discovered his first choice, Oakland, was already taken. Life here moves at an easy pace, centered around the crossroads of Highways 32 and 123. You're just a short drive from boating and fishing at Stockton Lake, with Bolivar nearby for everyday errands and Springfield under an hour away. With its own tight-knit local school and library branch, it's a peaceful spot for anyone seeking simple Ozarks living.
