We took the nature trail that leads through the marsh & shrubs towards the back. We enjoyed the experience. I recommend this park to anyone who enjoys nature but doesn't want to get lost in it. Advice: wear trail shoes, bring water but don't pollute.

I'll start on how to find it. From Central Blvd. go north into University Blvd. Go past Main st. (1 block) you will find a multilevel parking garage on the right. It's FREE by the way. Arboretum will be across the street. (See pictures attached) The Arboretum is beautiful, small and lots of benches to enjoy the gardens. This site seems not maintained, but an Arboretum in its native state is supposed to look like this. I came on a rainy day and only a few flowers present, but I enjoyed it. Come visit the Arboretum on a sunny day to seat., relax and enjoy. Thanks for reading.
