What a gem! When you walk in you are transported to a serene forest and you can completely forget you are right in the middle of a bustling city. Explore miles of trails filled with various flowers, plants, and trees along the river. You can also relax in the peony garden or stroll along the river. You will find a map to guide you near each entrance. Some trails are well marked and easy to travel, with a few a bit more rustic. It can be a bit of a climb but the views are worth it. We found parking to be a bit of a challenge at the Gateway Garden. I would have liked to see more plants and trees marked/labeled as we enjoy learning about plants and adding variety in our yard. All in all a refreshing way to spend a few hours.
