Lots of trees to Look at, benches for sitting, meditation garden, and plenty green spaces to spread a blanket on. Relaxing place to get a little exercise. Small playplace on one end of the park.
I walk here monthly with my spouse and/or dog. The flowers, trees and shrubs are amazing to look at. Lots of scenery and views. There is a playground and basketball goal as well. Also public bathrooms
On a hot day there are
Plenty of shaded areas to walk and stay cool while enjoying seeing quite a variety of different grasses, ground covers, plants, and trees. This is well organized, presented and maintained.
I visited in August and naturally, it's not as beautiful without the flowers in bloom. Unlike the Tanger Bicentennial Park, the Greensboro Arboretum is mostly wide open spaces of lawn, punctuated by small themed areas. The paths are not as shaded here as in other parks and it can feel a bit warm at times.
The giant meditation wind chimes are cool, but the traffic from the bordering highway masked the faint sound they made, which was disappointing.
This is a nice, green, free, peaceful public park, but I wouldn't go out of your way as a tourist to visit.
So many beautiful things to see and relatively peaceful trails to walk along. My wife loves plants and gardening and was in heaven. There is a bathroom facility at the entrance. At the far end of the arboretum you can exit through a city park that has playground equipment for small children to enjoy.
Loved this place; it is great for taking a leisurely stroll and enjoying the outdoors. Many of the plants and trees were marked with identification and the variety of flora was amazing. I would visit several times a week if I lived locally, it must be great to see it at different times of the year. Well done, Greensboro!
