"Particularly in the spring when Azalea Way is in full bloom, and in the fall when the Japanese Garden is ablaze with color, the arboretum is a gorgeous place for picnicking, kayaking, bird watching, and wandering. Watching waterfowl from the floating docks on Union Bay and collecting fallen leaves in the Japanese Garden are favorite things to do in the arboretum. Additionally, the Pacific Connections Interpretive Center shelter was built as a community art project using fallen trees from the park." - Hannah Kirshner, Allison Williams
