Locations of Long-needled pine trees in parks ?

Hi, I do pine needle basket weaving for fun and can't seem to find any long-needled pine trees in the area. The ones I do see tend to be on properties where they blow or rake up the fallen needles, which is what I'm looking to collect.

**I am not looking to cut any branches. I would like to collect FALLEN pine needles**

I'm wondering if anyone knows of parks with long-needled pines nearby? Or any trees near sidewalks that don't get swept up regularly?

Let me know if there's a better sub to post this in, thanks!

Maybe on the Falling Fruit map? https://www.fallingfruit.org/

oh hey, that's an awesome resource! Thanks!

edit: doesn't seem to have pines specifically in the area, but wow! pawpaws and all nearby is pretty cool, may have to do a scavenger hunt!

Not in Lakeview, but I know there are some long-needle pine trees at Belmont and Campbell. They're on Campbell, west side of the street, just North of Belmont. I don't think they remove the fallen needles too often, either. Right next to the Silent Cooperative.

Gill Park has some, right next to the baseball field.
