Longfellow Park located on North 20^th Street between Wall and Logan Streets includes a pavilion for picnics and family reunions (available free on a first-come, first serve basis), tennis courts, backstops for softball games, a basketball court, and, of course, plenty of playground equipment for kids. Longfellow Park was originally the site of Longfellow School and is home to the Murphysboro Clarkes Vintage Base Ball team.
