Longshore Park Playground Review

Longshore Park offers a structure and swings. While the playground is in full sun, the picnic benches offer plenty of shade.

The playground features a twisty slide and a lower side-by-side slide. There are monkey bars, curved ladders, and more fun on the play structure.

Longshore Park is across the street from the Argo boat launch and down the street from the Argo Canoe Livery. We parked in the Argo lot across from the boat launch.

With several picnic tables, it is a perfect place to take a break and have lunch, dinner, or a snack before or after tubing the Cascades or heading out on a river trip.
