Jacksonville Arboretum & Gardens

So beautiful ???? Relaxing, cheap way to get out in nature in the middle of an urban area. Dog friendly and the trails are fun to explore!

The Live Oak Loop and Rosemary Ridge are the smoothest for running, but the grade will kick your butt. The Ravine trails are softer, but the tree roots require a lot of agility.

Nice walking trails . The moss flanking the paths makes for a serene setting. I didn't care for awkwardly placed Christmas/light show that detracts from the botanical garden setting.

This place is great for hiking or just hanging out. Lots of benches in beautiful spots.

Great place to go on a walk to get some fresh air . A few picnic tables but no grills. Park is well maintained and very nice considering its location.

It is an up and coming Arboretum. It is great for taking photos and the nature trails are pretty good. I would give it an 8.5/10

Hidden Gem ! Walk the trails and explore the area. This is a must see if you like nature.

Wonderful little retreat, nice trails , great for dogs

Nice beautiful trails

Beautiful place to enjoy the sounds of nature. Right in the middle of 2 major roads . Tale your entire family! Pets too :-)

The owl show was super cool.

Great place to run with my dogs

Unfortunate placement next to the Arlington Water Treatment Plant.

Treeeees (not strip malls )
