Hoyt Arboretum is a public space that covers 185 acres and is just a couple miles from downtown. It is easily accessible by light rail and is home to over 1,000 species of plants. There are several trails and walkways and interesting things to see. It is so crazy to feel like you are in the middle of a forest but so close to the city...
