The Longstreet Park is located in a residential neighborhood and is a rather small park at only 0.3 acres. Even though it’s a small park there are still plenty of activities for children including a toddler play structure, big kid play structure, sand area, hopscotch and swings. 

The playground is located on the corner of Longstreet and Stuart Dr. and there is a fence along 3 sides of the playground. There are several large mature tress that offer shady spots to play. The primary ground surface is made of rubber but there is a small patch of cement where a picnic table and hopscotch court is located. In one corner there is a small sand area with diggers. There are also 2 swings, one baby swing and one standard swing. The play structures are well maintained and offer a variety of climbing, sliding and playing for children. 

The only drawback to this playground is there aren’t any restrooms accessible. Overall, this is a great playground at which children will enjoy playing.
