The Willows Park

Very quiet spacious park to walk most of the time. Ample parking and picnic spaces.

We enjoyed strolling around the lake and relaxing on the willow-tree shaded benches in this public park. There is free parking, a picnic table area and 2 portable toilets, but no other amenities. They allow fishing in the pond for youth under 16. The park includes a restored historic mansion with adjacent parking. The mansion with brick patio in the rear is not open for public view but is available for rental. Warning: be aware that residents bring their off-leash dogs here. The dogs are supposed to stay leashed until visitors reach the adjoining Skunk Hollow Park. However, we saw groups of dogs running off-leash around parts of the park. Finding the park entrance is tricky: use 490 Darby Paoli Road, Villanova for gps to find it.

I really enjoyed it, it was little small but it's not bad, I celebrated my son birthday, the place was good for everything, party, barbecue, walking around, taking pictures.. I could say excellent park.

I live in Ardmore and so far this is the best park around the area. Serene place! Nice place for refreshing, fishing, chatting and photography or just enjoying nature

Driving into this park almost feels like you're driving into a fairytale, with its picturesque views of a lake packed with fish, green hills, and plenty of assorted trees for shade. A romantic backdrop for anyone looking to enjoy a picnic. Grills are available on far end of park near exit. Must see this wonderful escape from reality park!
