About

Longview Farm Park is a Town and Country municipal park at 13525 Clayton Road, just west of Mason Road in the St. Louis area. The city's official page describes a community gathering place with trails, gardens, a lake, stables, pasture, a historic farmhouse, a playground, and reservable facilities.

Families can build a visit around an outdoor walk, playground time, a picnic, or a city program without relying on details from the unrelated property in Lee's Summit.

The trails wind through the woods, around the lake, and alongside the stables and pasture. That mix gives children several things to notice on one outing, including water, trees, gardens, horses in the therapy-barn setting, and changing park views. The city links an official trail map, so open that map before choosing a route.

The public page does not state that every trail is stroller accessible, and it does not publish a fixed family visit length. Match the route to the youngest walker and turn back before the group is tired.

The pavilion has a playground and restrooms nearby, along with a grill, electricity, and access to scenic wooded trails. Pavilion and farmhouse rentals are separate arrangements, so a family should not assume a reservable space is available for ordinary use. The park also hosts city activities that can include children's summer camps, tennis lessons, the Turkey Trot, Holiday Boutique, and Art, Wine and Music event.

Program dates, registration, and fees can change and belong in the current city calendar.

Catch-and-release fishing is permitted when each fisher has the license and permit required by the Missouri Department of Conservation, unless that person is exempt. Bring the correct documents and follow current state and park rules. The official page does not publish dependable daily hours, a general admission price, nursing or changing facilities, or a full food-service option.

Confirm time-sensitive details with Town and Country Parks and Recreation at 314-587-2814. A reliable family plan is simple: check the city page, choose one trail or the playground as the main activity, pack water and weather-ready clothing, and treat rentals or registered programs as separate commitments.
