Norristown Farm Park - Norristown, Pennsylvania

After 4 years of living in the area, my love for this local gem has only deepened. The addition of the community garden has been great, the staff and programs they run are wonderful, and the variety of trails is unmatched outside of our neighboring National Park, Valley Forge. Watching the changes throughout the seasons is a particular favorite of mine, and the Story Walk they have for kids is adorable.

Big thanks to the staff for keeping everything so beautifully maintained

Great place to visit for a walk, run, or bike ride. Ample trails abound with seating options every so often for small breaks. Five parking lots are available that allow for starting at different interest points. Best hike for something more tranquil is on the East side that follows the rail tracks for a while and is far from the main roads. Other sections of the trail including the far SW part follow the main road for a section, which is not as enjoyable although still well maintained. Restrooms were super clean. Met Park ranger Dave, who was a kind man that was very hospitable and welcoming. Recommend!

5his looks like a great place for families to hang out once trees start to leaf out. Have restrooms and play areas, untested. Nice short 1 mile meandering blue path along the river. Like that it is across from the hospital, good to stretch your legs if visiting

Love exploring the trails with my Dog at this beautiful park! Wish they'd open an area for dogs to run free with other dogs!

Beautiful trails, very well maintained pedestrian roads where you can even roller blade, plenty of amazing spots to see, dont forget to visit the Anglers (fish nursery), perfect spot to photograph, sports, kids playground, like their Facebook page to stay informed.

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 place to walk a dog or go jogging,. Beautiful sunrises, lots of open space, and plenty of different animals Photograph. There is also a mental institution on grounds, Half of the buildings are empty and have not been a kept in years and years, trees growing out of the buildings are festive around Halloween and great for Photography
