Hundreds of thousands of families are now enjoying the fun and natural
beauty in Long's Park, thanks to the benevolence of Judge Henry
Grimly Long and his daughter Catherine Long. Bequeathed to the City
of Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1900, this 80-acre city park sits
on the northwest corner of town at the intersection of Harrisburg
Pike and Route 30. Each year the park is home to a whole host of
activities including a free summer-long music
series, a nationally acclaimed fine art and
craft festival and the world's largest
chicken barbecue. Long's Park also boasts other outdoor amenities
including picnic pavilions, a petting farm, children's playgrounds,
a three-acre, spring fed lake, tennis courts and a fitness trail.
