What a gem

This park is a gem. It's absolutely beautiful with lots of hiking opportunities. Be prepared to hike uphill, but it's not a difficult hike to the Witches' House. You can hike further. The trails can be a little wet so wear appropriate shoes.

Incredibly fun place for singles or the family.

Truly nature in the city. Washington Park has much to offer residents as well as visitors. The Zoo, The Children's Museum, Hoyt Arboretum, and the World Forestry Center are exciting places for all to see.

Massive green area

We came here as part of our visit to Washington park. There's lots of trees and it's a lovely outdoor environment. If the weather is good it's worth visiting.

Beautiful even in fog

My husband and I hiked through the park, not realizing how far the Japanese Gardens were from where we started. It was a 4 mile walk through the foggy woods, not too strenuous, very quiet and peaceful at times. Not crowded because it was January,...More

Restful or rigorous--you choose!

I live right by this park and it is always welcoming to walk below its trees, amid its roses, over its mosses. Others might better enjoy its hills and peaks, archery range, and cycling paths!

Some nice little hills to walk up in this park depending on where you enter it from but it has a Holocaust memorial, a Sacajawea statue, and a statue to commemorate the achievements of captains Merriweather Lewis and William Clark. Definitely worth spending an hour...More

Ditto what others have said. There was a “hot dog” cart when we were there too. And take the free bus around the park to minimize the walking necessary. Have fun and check out the Roses!!!

Washington Park allows dogs but the usual rules apply: Dogs must be on a leash and clean up after them. Apart from that its a perfect place for the whole family.
