DO NOT GO IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN!
by shahaha
We went to the arboretum yesterday with our 19 month old son. He had a great time running around on the trails until we came across SEVERAL dogs who were not on leashes. There are many signs telling owners to keep their pets on leashes, but five out of the eight dogs we saw were NOT leashed. I was not comfortable letting my child hike knowing that there are so many potentially dangerous animals running free. I'm sure the owners are not aware of how dangerous a dog can be to a small child, but I am. My brother was hospitalized from defending his 3 year old son against an attacking dog who's owner didn't find it necessary to put a leash on him. Dogs not on leashes are a danger to small children. It's that simple.
Only minutes from downtown, this arboretum is a beautiful and peaceful getaway.

In Short
With more than 950 species and varieties of plants in the collection, Hoyt Arboretum is a world-class destination for hiking. Founded in 1928, the first trees were planted in the early 1930s. Today more than 5,000 individual trees are labeled with planting information. Ten miles of trails weave throughout the 175 acres. The park is sectioned into two main areas: coniferous and deciduous trees. There are also specific areas set aside for native plants.

beautiful park

If it weren't for the views of Portland and the sometimes large weekend crowds, you'd never know Hoyt Arboretum in Washington Park was in the middle of the city. Many miles of meadering pretty trails crisscross the park and information about the arboretum's trails, flora, and fauna can be found at the visitor's center. Great place to spend a sunny summer afternoon.
