[[Long Hollow Park]] is a public park located on [[Guillemard Street]] in the [[Long Hollow]] neighborhood of Pensacola. The park was the dream of the Long Hollow Neighborhood Association members, who in [[2000]] began investigating the possibility of turning a one-block vacant lot, owned by the City and used for overflow parking, into a park where neighborhood children could play. After several community meetings, a park plan was developed and presented to the City Council in spring of [[2001]], which voted to create the park in July 2001. Funding obtained through the [[Pensacola Community Incentive Program]], [[Front Porch Pensacola]] and the [[Youth Development Task Force]] was used to purchase playground equipment, signage, landscaping and irrigation, a drinking fountain, benches, and sidewalks. The park is also home to an extensive collection of outdoor artwork.
==Features & Artwork==
*Gateway sculpted by [[John Olsen]], a former art teacher at [[Pensacola Junior College]]
*Water fountain with 10-foot centerpiece sculpted by [[Thomas Jacob Cawthon]]
*"The Labyrinth," a recreation of the famous design in the floor of the [[Wikipedia:Chartres Cathedral]] near Paris, surrounded by benches by [[60 Cycles of Sound]] musician [[Jason Holstein]].
*Glass-and-steel artwork by [[Joe Hobbs]]
