For the most part, on the outside, this park looks to be very nice, but don't judge a book by its cover. When my wife and I started walking around the lake , we noticed quickly that the water was an abnormal color and that there was over a dozen dead fish in the water. There may be a lot more to this park, but I can tell you for one that this was a major turn-off to both me and my wife.

My daughter and son-in-law were selling their home so we met at Long's Park for lunch and while prospective buyers toured their home. It is a quiet, clean place to hang out and picnic.
