The original Albert Long Park was located near the intersection of Reservoir
Street and Stone Spring Road. The property was donated by the Albert Long
family in 1971 and encompassed 5.945 acres for the purpose of recreation.

On April 26, 2013 the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors authorized
an exchange agreement with Indian Trail Farm, LLC. to swap the current
Albert Long Park for approximately 72 acres of land located along
Spotswood Trail. The Board’s intent is to develop the 65 acres to the rear
of the site as a park, replacing the current Albert Long Park location. When
the current property was taken out of service, the Board’s commitment
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.
