Lockwood Park Children's Farm Rebuild - Campaign Goal $150,000

Lockwood-Farm

Thousands of families and children visit the Children's Farm Barn each year where we house our children's farm animals like ducks, pigs, llama and a calf. Staff also teach thousands of local elementary students Agriculture Education at the barn. The interior and exterior of the barn are deteriorating and in much need of a face-lift to keep it in good repair. Lockwood Park is a low fee, family facility and having a working farm with barn animals in an urban city like Rockford is a tremendous asset for learning opportunities, especially our youth.
