The Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department entered the “farming business” in 1995 when Chris Salomon and his daughter, Lynn, presented the Department with a very generous gift -- the family farm. Located on the north side of Fort Wayne in an area of rapid development, the 170-acre city park provides not only much needed green space, but a glimpse of life on the farm, as well. In keeping with t

he Salomons’ wishes, the park remains a working farm. When complete, the park will feature demonstration plots utilizing farming methods popular in the 1930s. Farm animals such as chickens, pigs, goats, mini Highland coos (cows), ducks, rabbits, a mini horse, and Valais black-nose sheep live on the farm as part of our nearly 50 farm animal menagerie. Heirloom vegetables and herbs are grown in the garden. We also have several sunflower fields that have been planted in succession with late summer/early autumn bloom time! Special events and programs such as the annual 2-day fall harvest festival, the summer Farmin’ Fun day camp, the Salomon farmers' market, and numerous workshops, classes, and programs provide opportunities for education as well as recreation and entertainment throughout the year. Need an event space? We have those, too! Our rental space options consist of the historic Old Barn, historic Homestead, the Wolf Family Center (aka Learning Center), the *New in 2024* North Garden, and the Covered Bridge near Till Road at the south of our property. Our rental events continue to grow in popularity and type of event from year-to-year! You are invited to visit the farm park any time, in accordance with the park rules. The city farm park is open daily from 6am-11pm and is free. Tell your friends and family! We look forward to welcoming you to the farm. Enjoy your visit(s)!

P.S.A. this is Junebug.
We hate to put it this way, but our boy is carrying a lot of extra weight! ❤️
You might be wondering why he’s wearing a grazing muzzle. It’s to keep him from overeating grass in his pasture, this is strongly recommended by his veterinarian.
We promise we’re not doing this to be cruel! Junebug is still a relatively young mini horse, and we want him with us for as many years as possible. Getting him back to a good weight is an important part of taking care of him and protecting his longterm health and longevity. 🐴❤️
So, no matter what he tells you, do not take his grazing muzzle off and don’t give him any treats! 😂 We know he’ll try to convince you otherwise.
And we definitely don’t want to give him a complex, so please… no calling him Hannibal Lecter either. 😂
If you’re visiting the farm and see your favorite guy, give Junebug some words of encouragement on his weight-loss journey! ❤️
