  • Albert Long Park Baseball Complex
    INTRODUCTION ALBERT LONG PARK Introduction Rockingham County Contact: The original Albert Long Park was located near the intersection of Reservoir Mrs. Kathy McQuain Street and Stone Spring Road. The property was donated by the Albert Long Parks & Recreation Director family in 1971 and encompassed 5.945 acres for the purpose of recreation. Phone: 540.564.3161 On April 26, 2013 the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors authorized [email protected] an exchange agreement with Indian Trail Farm, LLC. to swap the current Albert Long Park for approximately 72 acres of land located along Mr. Stephen King Spotswood Trail. The Board’s intent is to develop the 65 acres to the rear Deputy County Administrator of the site as a park, replacing the current Albert Long Park location. When Phone: 540.564.3015 the current property was taken out of service, the Board’s commitment [email protected] to the Long family was to replace the recreational land utilizing much of the proceeds from the redevelopment of the current property to help fund construction of the new park. Key to the Board’s decision to acquire this property was a goal to protect this area as perpetual green space, providing a buffer between development along the Spotswood Trail corridor and the farming community in the Keezletown area. The County rezoned the acquired property to include approximately 6.4 acres as B1 (Commercial) with conditions along Spotswood Trail and the remaining 65.6 acres A2 (Agriculture) with the intent to limit the use to recreation and related uses. Parks and Recreation Mission Statement The mission of the Rockingham County Parks and Recreation department is Rockingham County, Virginia to foster lifetime involvement in and appreciation of activities that enrich the lives of all citizens of Rockingham County by providing high quality recreation and leisure activities.
