Found this place while working out with my trainer and thought it was absolutely beautiful. It's such a nice place that makes you'll almost forget you're in a busy city. I went back a couple of times and discovered the rest of the park, there's beautiful flowers and trees with different sections for different flowers, nice benches to sit and... More

Beautiful arboretum, wonderfully laid out to make the best use of the property. Plants labeled for your information. Only negative, constant traffic noise from the nearby road.

A great place to visit for couples, families and groups. Most trails are paved with some nature areas for shade plants. This garden also features a wedding area, sculpture and children's play areas near by. A wide selection of trees, plants & shrubs. Best to visit spring thru fall but with the evergreens winter is good also. Perfect for exercise.... More

I visit the Arboretum with friends so that we can some exercise. The Arboretum is a nice park in Greensboro. Walking a portion of the park is approximately a mile. There are also baseball games held in the park and a playground area for children. I have also attended a wedding held in the gazebo at the Arboretum. Overall it... More

We visit this park often. It is a great place for a walk with our dog (on a leash). I suggest if you go in winter that you definately go back in spring or summer to see all the great plants in bloom. I love this park any time of year, though.

you can look at the big picture or focus on the details -- so nice to see so many others wandering about with smiles on their faces.

Me and my husband went for a walk around here and it was just a beautiful place to spend time together. We went another time with friends and had a nice picnic.

I have lived in Greensboro 30+ years and have watched as the Aboretum evolved. I walk with or with out my dogs a couple of times a week. The paved walkway is wide enough to accommodate strollers, dogs and people. When the rose garden is in bloom - it is stunning. Love the sculptures , butterfly garden , babbling creek... More

A great place to enjoy nature! I enjoyed a nice bike ride and lunch for the aftenoon. The grounds well kept and beautiful. Loved the overlook at the Butterfly Garden. So peaceful!
