Longfellow Park

Longfellow Park located on North 20th 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.

Newsflash

It's official !! The Riverside Park Historic Bandshell is now on the National Register of Historical Places.  After months of putting together the proposal, we recieved conmfimation in June 2012.  Our next mission is to have the Riverside Park Grandstand, also known as Chep Kessel Field, added to the register.  Both structures were built in the late 1930's as part of the Work Project Administration (WPA).
