Longstreet Park — Attraction in Raleigh

Too close to the road with no gate for small children. If you have small children or a child developmental delays this park may not be suitable for them. The equipment is nice and this area needs more little community playgrounds like this however it sits very close to the road. I understand that the location can't always be helped but they could easily install a self closing gate to prevent small children from darting into the road. The side of the park that faces Stuart Dr is a little safer because of the retaining wall and stairs but the opening in the fence on the Longstreet Dr side is steps from the base of a slide and a child could easily be in the road within seconds of leaving the park.

Small but nice neighborhood playground area with a good variety of newer equipment for ages 2–12. It is partially fenced in. Ample seating on picnic tables and benches. This park sits on a corner lot adjacent to two neighborhood streets, with the available parking being on those streets (no parking lot). I would come back if we are in the area. It was also very clean and had a trash can for the couple of pieces of litter I found...
