## About

Located on 100 rolling acres inside Winton Woods in Springfield Township, Parky's Farm is an educational farm haven designed especially for young children and families. During the winter season, the farm's historic barns offer shelter and warmth while providing close-up encounters with friendly barnyard animals. Young visitors can peer into wooden stalls to meet miniature horses, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, and cows, watching them munch fresh hay. Interpretive signage throughout the barns teaches children about livestock care, winter animal adaptations, and where farm products come from. Families can also explore the outdoor agricultural gardens, walk the paved farm loop trails, and discover agricultural play wagons. Park naturalists frequently host weekend animal feedings and farm discovery chats that let little hands pet gentle farm animals.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Paved asphalt walkways connect the parking area, historic barns, and play areas; barn floors are smooth concrete and packed earth easily navigable by strollers.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated visitor center and modern restrooms equipped with baby changing counters; indoor benches inside the main barn for resting.
• Age Suitability: Perfect for infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged kids (ages 0 to 10).
• Sensory Tips: Classic farm sensory sights and sounds—soft animal fur, gentle moos and bleats, and sweet cedar shavings; great for tactile animal-loving children.
