Overview & Suitability

Parking Lot #3 at Norristown Farm Park serves as a primary access point for visitors looking to enjoy the park's extensive recreational offerings. This parking area is conveniently situated adjacent to the Picnic Pavilion Area, making it the ideal spot for guests attending gatherings, group events, or those interested in utilizing the nearby volleyball court and horseshoe pit.

Access, Dimensions & Clearance

The park is accessed via a main entrance at the intersection of Germantown Pike and North Wales Road.

The parking lot is surfaced and level, providing easy navigation for standard passenger cars.
