ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! A farm themed climbing area and therapy horses right next to the playground. I can see why its tucked away, and I'm not surprised this is in T&C. Everything was so clean, the climbing gyms looked awesome, but for my toddler, he loved climbing the fake horses and tractor lol. On our way out, we walked past the stalls and saw the horses for therapy. He was excited to see them and waved bye lol. I highly recommend visiting here with your kids! read more

Longview Farm Park - Farm climbing area - horse stables in the background - Parks Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Beautiful park to go take a stroll and enjoy nature. They have a small playground for the kiddos, tennis courts and a 1 mile walking trail. The parking lot is small and gets crowded, but clears out pretty fast. There's an equestrian center on sight so there are horses. There's a small lake along the walking path, and be sure to check the ground for the little fairy gardens :) and check the surround trees, rocks and benches for little facts about them. read more

Nice park in Town and Country with wooded trails and a horse farm at the end. Been here a few times.

I had a dentist appointment and googled parks near me and Longview was about a 7 minute drive from my destination so I figured I'd check it out. So glad I did because the walking path stretched all around and through this beautiful park. They had a cute little pond with a look out and I even got to see horses roaming around. One was so close to the gates I was able to give him some love. I don't have kids but the park looked pretty cool as well! I will definitely be back when it's warmer to walk again! read more

Longview Farm Park - Parks Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I decided to take a walk at Longview Farm Park because I live in the general area and had never been. It's a beautiful park. There is a playground and trails. It's difficult to understand how long the trails are as one of the bridges was closed for construction. The outer path was over 1/2 a mile which was nice. I'm sure I'll be here again and again. read more

Today is the official reopening day for this park. Despite the rain, it is a great gem to this area. There is a playground for kids to play. There is a walking path with lots of talk tree for shades if needed. There is a nice pond on the walking path. The walking path has very clear mile marker signs. It is a short distant walk. There are three horses here that I saw today. read more

Beautiful place! Pretty horses and very lovely ladies who take care of them today. Great big playground welcomed us with so many cool things for kids to play with. Bathroom was cleanish, sink had a step stool and there is bottle filling station outside. Very thought out area! We will be back! read more

It's such a stunning and peaceful park with horses, red barn, and nice walking trail. Playground area was recently renovated and reopened couple weeks ago. It had some good qualities but definitely more toward older children. Restroom is quite clean. Plenty of parking spaces on weekdays. read more

I don't know about getting married here or about doing a photo shoot, but I did spend some time here. The park has a bunch of walking trails and I did wander a bit before enjoying the gardens and sitting in the chairs to watch the sunset. The park has very limited parking.

Longview Farm Park in Town and Country has something for everyone. I love spending time at this park. Smiles start as I approach the white horse corral off Clayton Road. Visits to the Barn always happen first. The original part of this Barn is over 120 years old. It is fun to see some or the therapy horses or Onyx the Barn Cat. Equine Assisted Therapy owns the horses here. Longview Farm Park also has trails, a playground, a Pavilion, pond, and Historic Farm House. This park has restrooms near the Playground Area. Tennis is available at the front of the park. Groups or business can rent rooms in the Historic Farm House by the hour. This is also a Wedding Venue. read more

Small neighbor park with pond, playground, pavilion around a horse farm. Yes, it's cool for kids (nice playground) & dogs (water dishes available). Yes, there are paved trails looping around the farm & ponds plus a couple short unpaved trails. Yes, many invested in building decks into pond & benches all around. However, this is by no means a destination spot. The limited parking, single tennis court & only a small pond screams that. What they did here is made a nice place for horses & families (including dogs) to recoup & get some exercise. read more

I'm not quite sure I like the horses. I like throwing rocks into the lake. My daddy threw one that hit the dock. I like the playground. this part of town has more WASPs than horses! Sammy, Age 6 read more

Really cool park alert! I took my six year old godson to Longview Farm Park last weekend for some outdoor time and to burn off some of his never-ending energy, but unfortunately, we only could stay for about fifteen minutes because of a serious cicada infestation. They were literally everywhere and after pulling the third one out of my hair and trying to swat them off of his clothes, we were outta there. As great as this park is, I'd give it a good month before checking it out. Those cicadas are like little evil flying humans, I swear... When you get there, the first thing you see is an old, beautiful and historic looking house. The house belonged to a man named William Hibler in the 1820's, and apparently he was a baller, because this place is huge and you can tell it was worth some big money. You can go in and tour it, but with little man along, our interests were elsewhere: the horses. Yup, they have a really beautiful barn full of gorgeous therapy horses! Each one had a name, so we went to each stall, read the name outloud, and then pet each horse on the nose. It was so cool to be so up close to them, and knowing they were therapy horses made it even more special. These guys were so sweet and didn't even flinch at a pair of six year old hands grabbing for their faces! We spent most of our time in the barn because it was the only place that was cicada-free. There's a great playground for kids, and acres upon acres of streams, little bridge crossings, and it's just a really cool place to connect with nature. Take-aways: -Great for kiddos & nature lovers -The horse barn is definitely the coolest part -I really hate cicadas. read more

I just got married at Longview Farm Park. We had the ceremony outside and a reception inside following. When I was first looking for venues for our wedding I was overwhelmed by the prices of other venues in the area. When I found that Longview Farm Park was reasonably priced and they offered a "plan b" location in case of rain my husband and I were excited to book our day. Longview Farm Park can be summed up as a beautiful venue with staff that is easy to work with. We really enjoyed the freedom to choose any caterer as long as they were licensed and the grounds surrounding the building was quite a sight to behold, many of the flowers blooming so late into September. Our primary contact was Catie Ward; who oversaw the venue rental. She was such a delight to work with and was easily accessible via email. The venue was not booked the day before our wedding and so we were able to setup the table decorations. This took a lot of stress off us on our actual wedding day. If we were to state any negatives it was that the venue did not provide outside chairs, those needed to be added on by an outside service at an additional cost. The venue did provide an arbor, however that was also an additional cost. Probably the biggest challenge for us was the music. Through no fault of Longview or its staff, music cannot be played outside (due to a Town and Country regulation) which, made it hard for some guests to hear our music during the ceremony. read more

Longview Farm Park - Parks Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

It's funny how you can drive by a place quite often but never really notice it is there....thus the story behind Longview Farm. I have driven past Longview Farm so many times but I have never really noticed it. This past Sunday we took a family outing to take advantage of the amazing weather. Since the weather in the mid 50s, it was perfect. This is not a huge park. If you are looking for wide open spaces in West County, check out Queeny Park or Castlewood. However, what Longview lacks in size, it makes up for in amazement. When you first enter the park, you will notice the parking lot is small. This is a great advantage for a small park. You are greeted with a great playground for the kids and the barn for the equine therapy horses. The barn is open from time to time and kids can visit. Just be careful to have the kids respect the horses. The rest of the park is amazing. The paths are fun that allow tons of exploration. The water features are amazing and I promise I will be back when it it not dreary. I was very impressed with the whole park. read more

Beautiful park! Love the lake view and the horses. Very scenic place for a walk. The house has different art shows. read more

Such a great walk and fun to see the horses! The playground is fun to and perfect for my 2 year old!

This a staple park for us. Set back off of clayton road the trees are mature and during the summer you can usually find some shade on the playground while the kiddos run around. There are actually nice bathrooms with "warm" running water here. Also a covered pavilion to get out of the occasional spot shower. The playground is overall generous and a favorite for my girls. Nearby is also a horse stable for "rehab" horses that my girls love to feed and look at. There is a single tennis court but no other sports fields and that is the really only downfall to this park. Definitely check out the nature trail that wraps around a small pond. There are short trails through the grass and woods as well if you want to leave the paved path. Tip.... bring a bag of carrots for the horses. Overall a great park especially if you have little kids. read more

One of my favorite parks. I tend to frequent this location with my niece after I pick her up from preschool and we have a blast! Added bonus: they are pet friendly! The walking trail is pretty neat. It makes it was through the 30 acre park and you can continue down Clayton or you can take the trail down Mason Ridge and make a big loop back to the park. The trail is paved and is all interconnected, which is pretty cool! There is a stable with horses as others have mentioned. Did you know that the stables are operated by Equine Assisted Therapy? Equine Assisted Therapy is an organization dedicated to providing therapeutic horseback riding activities for individuals with disabilities. I mean how awesome is that! In addition to the stable and walking trail, you will also find a picnic pavilion, tennis courts, playground, restroom, and a lake with a fountain, which allows catch and release fishing with the proper fishing license, of course. Looking for a place to let your fur kids or real kids (or rentals if you don't have your own) let go of that pent up energy? I highly suggest Longview! read more

Beautiful community park! Nice walking paths. Beautiful pond with two decks, one that is wheelchair accessible. I would recommend that the trash cans on the property were emptied more often (not because they are full but because of the smell and bugs) read more

What a fantastic park hidden away off Clayton Rd. The amenities include a playground and picnic area and walking trails handicap accessible. The trails do have hills but they are fairly short. If you want to get a more strenuous workout in there are sidewalks around the park or just do laps. The scenic trails are remarkable I wouldn't get bored doing laps here. My family loves looking at the horse that are stabled in the park. Great overall experience. read more

I love this park! I take my two little ones there frequently as we live only a 5-7 minute drive away. The bathrooms are always clean & well stocked & most importantly, close by the playground. There is a paved walking trail through the woods & down by a small pond with a fountain, then along side the pasture of beautiful horses with which patrons are allowed to interact when the horses are in their stalls. The playground includes swings and apparatuses for babies/toddlers up to age 12. For seating, there is a concrete wall surrounding the playground as well as a couple of benches. Included along the perimeter are picnic tables & a shelter that accommodates birthday parties and other events. I've used the large, two sided charcoal grill to cook dinner in the afternoon while my children played. This is one of the cleanest & most well kept parks I've ever seen! I highly recommend it. read more

Longview Farm Park - Parks Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I just discovered this gem of a park the other day on the way to Straub's. I can't believe I have never been here before. The kids immediately ran to check out the horses. There is a sign that says not to feed the horses but I later asked the caretaker and she said "she would look the other way and the horses like organic carrots." This park has so much to offer and you can make a day out of it. Beautiful scenery and we didn't have enough time to check everything out but we are coming back with carrots and a picnic lunch in a few days. read more

A quiet park with shade, restrooms, playground, BBQs, covered picnic tables, and plenty of grass to play on. Will add this to my playgrounds for the little ones. read more

Love taking my grandson here to play on the playground and pet the horses! A little slice of country in the middle of Town & Country!
