Confirmed from Westmoor Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
This expansive tract of woodlands & meadows features a demonstration farm with many classes.

Westmoreland Park is a lovely local park with hiking trails and farm animals. There is a small parking lot. There are a number of trails to hike, a couple ponds and fields.
This little gem is tucked behind Bishops Corner but you would never know the commercial area is right around the corner while you’re at the park. It’s peaceful and beautiful with well maintained gardens and walking paths.
Sweet little park with a working farm and many animals. They also have farm programs and trails. It’s a great spot for all ages to enjoy!
Very nice place to take the family too. The employees are polite and its very scenic. I love this place and would definitely go back.
