The Washington Park Arboretum covers 230 acres and offers various trails to hike. It’s free to the public and contains a vast variety of plant life, and I enjoyed seeing pops of color from flowering shrubs and trees during my stroll. It’s a huge space, so don’t expect to cover all the gardens and areas in one day. There are lots of plants for sale as well, and different options for purchasing them. I saw couples and families also taking walks or biking in the park, but it was not packed with crowds - it’s a very pleasant and quiet space.
