Confirmed from Willow Farm 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.
Familiar neighborhood park with open fields & a creek, plus a playground & picnic areas.
What runners say about Willow Farm Park
“The playground is nice and clean, has wheelchair ramps to the sanded areas, not sure how well they work though.”
“There is a pleasant creek that runs along the side of this park, but rest assured the water is shallow and the current is calm enough for a dog to walk up stream with ease.”
“There is plenty of playground equipment and swings to suit all ages.”

I love this little park! I go there just for walks with my dog. It is a great option for me when I am running errands in the Target area and want to take my dog for a quick walk. They do have restrooms, but I don't know if they are open year round. They have a picnic area too and a rentable space in the barn.
This park is kind of a hidden gem but once you drive in and see the barn, the atmosphere is off to a great start. Theres plenty of parking, and even several spots in the shade! Super grateful for the amount of shade this park provides in the common areas which has multiple picnic tables and benches.
This is probably my favorite Park in all of Longmont. I passed through this park over a thousand times in the past 10 years to and from work on my bicycle. I also take my dog for a nice peaceful walk on the edge of the park. The people around are friendly kind helpful. Also there is a clean public restroom with sink .
Willow Farm Park is a great location to bring your family, go for a stroll, enjoy the peace and quiet with mountain views or meet friends for basketball or roller hockey. There is plenty of playground equipment and swings to suit all ages.
