beffofsheff   10 #1 Posted May 7, 2010 took kids to longley playground other day and it was empty for a sunny day and there was nothing left just bars and no swings roundabout climbing frame, just a slide, and this had been peed down. so off we went to endcliffe were there was about 2000 people a good clean park with everything in it. just thought to myself that people just dont complain about things in longley.so i called the parks services and was given a positive response that things were at hand. i would encourage a mass of phone calls to park services from anyone who can be bothered to make a difference and hopefull get some action taken to improve ths park 01142464989 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Spacecat   10 #7 Posted May 7, 2010 Longley Park is nowt but a great big doggie toilet these days and has been in decline for over 20 years now . There's nothing there to encourage families to visit anymore ...which is a great shame when you think back to the days of the swimming pool , tennis courts, football pitches, cricket pitch , the small golf course, playground and even the little shop/cafe next to the bowling greens . You'll be hard pressed to even find any flowers in there now (perhaps because of all the doggie pee :roll ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
NHSslave   10 #8 Posted May 7, 2010 Longley park is the pits! I live very close to it but i never take my children there as the playground is awful. I take them to hillsborough/graves/endcliffe park! Much more to do at each of these parks and the playgrounds are much more superior! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
