About Longlevens Recreation Ground
Longlevens Recreation Ground is a large, free playing field serving the Longlevens suburb in the north of Gloucester, on Longford Lane at postcode GL2 9EU. It combines a council-managed children's play area with a multi-use games area and grass pitches for football and rugby, along with pavilions, making it a genuine community sports and recreation hub. It is listed among the formal children's play areas maintained by Gloucester City Council. The recreation ground's open green space gives families room for informal play alongside the equipped play area, while the senior rugby union and full-size football pitches support local clubs through the seasons. As a neighbourhood recreation ground rather than a destination park, detailed facility information such as toilets, parking and a cafe is not individually published, so families should expect a practical local space focused on sport and play. The combination of a play area and a multi-use games area makes it especially useful for families with children of mixed ages, where younger children can use the playground while older ones have a kickabout or ball game nearby. Entry to the recreation ground and its play area is free, giving Longlevens residents an easy, open local destination.
