Welcome to Longview Park in Columbia, Missouri. This park was once property of the nearby sewage treatment facility until it became a park in 1996. The Park was not developed until 12 years later. A local resident named Barbara Midgley wrote the following poem for the dedication ceremony. "A park’s a place of such natural joy, Made for woman, man or boy, Good for rest and great for play, Most any ole’ day, Or, if it’s windy, fly a kite, Even if it snows, a snowball fight, So mind your manners, And keep it clean, And Mother Nature’ll be pleased, and keep it green." The basketball court is a half court and the open field is a great place for kite-flying on windy days. The picnic area has grills so bring some meats for cooking.
The two ball diamonds are lighted so people can play at night.
