The Jacksonville Arboretum

For fun, we like to look around and see what parks in the area we haven’t been to and then give them a try.  We learned of one on the northeast side of Jacksonville and one Saturday decided to head over there.

It must be a relatively new park because many of the plants looked fairly newly planted.  There were some pretty little trails, a stream, a pond, and some wooden walkways.  I have a feeling that in a few years when the plants that they put in really have a chance to grow and get established it will be an absolutely beautiful park.  Not that it isn’t pretty now, but give it a few years and it will be truly gorgeous.
