Moody Park (Longacre Park) playground was renovated in 2015. It's huge and has something for everyone. There is a large play structure with 5 different slides, maze boards, stepping stones, climbers, animals trackers, steering wheels, and lots of bars and poles. The new equipment is nature themed. An 8-foot-tall concrete tree with a tree house is the focal point with slides and swings literally branching off the concrete tree. There is also a 5-by-5-foot concrete “anthill” for climbing and a 3-by-6-foot concrete “log” that children can crawl through.

Rope walks designed to look like trees.

There is a modified expression swing, a baby swing, and 4 sling swings.

There are an additional 2 baby swings in a different area.

Lots of climbers
