See below for directions to the Farm Park pavilions:

 

There is currently one vehicle entrance into the park, located at the intersection of Germantown Pike and North Wales Road.  Phone GPS systems (particularly Apple Maps) may direct you to use roads that are closed around the park.  If you are using GPS, consider plugging in "Farm Park Pediatric Dentistry, 502 W Germantown Pike, East Norriton, PA" as your destination.  That business is directly adjacent to the park entrance at the intersection of Germantown Pike and North Whales Road.  From there, continue into the park and follow the directions below.

 

When you arrive at the intersection of Germantown Pike and North Wales Road, turn at the light heading into the Barley Sheaf apartment complex and stay to the right, go through the main gate, and follow signs to the park office/visitor center.  Continue on Upper Farm Road for one mile until you reach the pavilions and parking area on your left.
