The Arboretum at Willowbrook Park features a wide, paved walking path that meanders the length of this 17-acre park. The arboretum is full of plant collections including daylilies, hostas, azaleas, roses, hydrangeas, camellias, wetland gardens and more. A creek runs through the park with a wide vegetation buffer brimming with native plants and grasses that provide habitat for wildlife and filters stormwater runoff protecting the water quality of the creek.
The Commons Building offers restrooms, picnic areas and provides a great meeting place for those coming to enjoy the park. Don't forget to look up in the rafters to see the beautiful bluebird metalwork sculptures. The Veteran's Overlook sits high on the banks of the creek across from the Commons Building and offers a lovely view into the Arboretum. What might be the park's most unique feature, and loved by kids of all ages, is the accessible Treehouse. The Treehouse, constructed from Locust wood, is suspended from a large Willow Oak tree near the intersection of W. Willowbrook Drive and Sunset Drive - don't miss out on visiting the unique and fun feature!
Also features The Charles Hawks Memorial Bluebird Trail, monitored by the Burlington Bird Club, which has 18 bluebird boxes throughout the Arboretum.
