Washington Park Arboretum

008
    Most of the paths in this park are fairly narrow, uneven, and up or down hill. However Azalea Way, shown above, is wide, level, and composed of hard packed sand and small gravel - 1 1/2 miles out and back. Arboretum Drive, closed to traffic, is another option but it’s hilly and most wheelchair users will need help.

  Update - A new paved trail that parallels Lake Washington Blvd has been constructed. The trail connects to Arboretum Drive making a totally paved loop. 

   There are small parking lots throughout the park and a bigger one at the visitor center. There may not be enough space to park a large RV. Caution – do not drive a large vehicle on Lake Washington Blvd. There’s a bridge with a 9’ clearance.   Arboretum

  1. A little update for people - the upper drive has been closed to traffic and a paved trail has been constructed to make a 2 mile paved, car free loop.
