Hoyt Arboretum
A tree museum on the ridge of Washington Park, with about 2,300 species of trees and 20 kilometers of trails. Admission is free.
Established in 1928, the arboretum covers about 77 hectares. Trees from around the world are planted by classification, including conifers, oaks, and maples, with standouts such as the endangered dawn redwood and weeping giant sequoia. Twelve trails connect the park. The Redwood Trail is smoothly paved and suitable for strollers, and at its highest point it links to the Wildwood Trail in Forest Park. The visitor center provides maps. Admission is free, and the arboretum is open daily from 05:00 to 22:00. It is right next to the Oregon Zoo, about a 10-minute walk from the MAX Washington Park station.
