Great place to go for couples, families or even alone. Walking paths, places to picnic or just sit and reflect. More

Part of the effort to beautiful Greensboro, I love this arboretum. It's great to go there for a walk or a picnic. I used to live very close to it and would go almost every day just for a relaxing outdoor spot. More

My husband and I love this park and come here almost daily in good weather. It's great for a short walk with the dogs in beautiful surroundings. Parking was confusing at first - we find it easiest to park on the street, and there seems to be plenty of room - we've never had a problem finding space. There is... More

Good place to let kids run around, but they may become bored because all there is to do here is walk around. However I did see a basketball court, but I could not figure out how to get over there. The staff is welcoming and so are the people. More

Lovely park setting. My husband proposed to me here on one of the swings. We have had family and children's photo shoots here as well. Very quiet and relaxed setting. More

My son and his family live near the Arboretum, so when I visit we sometimes go there, even in the winter. It's not very big, and it's really more of a park than an arboretum, though some of the plantings are carefully placed and labeled as they would be in a major arboretum like Morton's in Illinois. There are pleasant... More

Very well managed and designed space unfortunately located near busy streets. Still you get a sense of calm here among the interesting plants and trails. Cool outdoor events often happen here so keep a look-out. My wife and I have enjoyed several outdoor concerts here, especially the Summer Solstice. We walk here weekly from our house in Sunset Hills. Good... More

The weather was lovely and we strolled around. Not many flowers at this time of year but idea for tree plantings. The wrought iron bridges in Greensboro parks are beautiful. More

My sister and I walked her Dalmations in the Arboretum in Greensboro, NC. It is a beautiful park-like setting with outdoor rooms around every corner. It is people and dog friendly. Also, it is great whatever the season. Enjoy the convience of the pathways or set and contimplate the beauty that surrounds you. This is one of my favorite areas... More
