Norristown Farm Park is a 690-acre (279 ha) Pennsylvania state park in East Norriton and West Norriton Townships and Norristown in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.[2] Located just off of Interstate 276 on West Germantown Pike,[3] it is operated in partnership with the Montgomery County Department of Parks.

A working farm on the site of Norristown State Hospital, the park has multiple colonial-era farm buildings and homes on its grounds.[3]

Stony Creek flows through the park. Baseball, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, fishing, and picnicking opportunities are available in the park, as are summer musical concerts.[3]
