A nice community park that is quite large once inside. Have some nature trails that are easy to walk through. yet if only they were all linked. Multiple entrances so you can avoid the peak times. Closest park around where you can get a good run in, relax after work, or other social gatherings.
At first glance does look like a farm. Noticeably different on the Germantown Pike side no corn. It's looks like green beans. Also the Philadelphia Horticultural Society (PHS) set up with some plants and looks like vegetable garden. The fence around in does attract birds. Towards Whitehall corn was planted.
Around the farm park are pave trails for a good workout. There are also some unpaved trails that seem tricky to hike down. Best to go in groups.
Park rangers drive by the pave trails and like to wave. Don't forget to wave back. 😀
Although there is a nice picnic area, could not see a restroom. There are some portapotties at the Whitehall entrance.
There is so much to see, as the property is vast.
Worth Exploring
Lovely place, expansive, with picnic areas to enjoy a tasty meal among family. Volleyball set-up in some location throughout their 7.2 mile walking loop area.
Plenty of parking available!
Great park. Paved walking/biking path, with nice hiking trails that offshoot from there. A beautiful creek that is stocked with trout, and trails past soybean fields that are part of a still working farm.
One of my favorite spaces on Earth.
Beautiful quiet places in nature, with paved paths, and off the beaten track paths. Whatever you choose. There are creeks to listen and watch, or skip stones in, and trails to feel serenely at Peace. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall.
So many great areas for walking and exploring. Just taking in the sights and sounds of nature.
They also have some great nature themed educational things going on their FB page for the young and old.
So grateful to have a place like the Norristown Farm Park to go.
Great staff very helpful.
Knowledgeable staff and prompt response to questions. Very friendly.
