The Pavilion at the Carleen Bright Arboretum

I hadn’t been to the Carleen Bright Arboretum in a few years, and I was so pleasantly surprised by all the beautiful updates! The grounds are absolutely stunning—so much thought and care has gone into the landscaping and design. They’ve even added a charming splash pad, which is perfect for families and adds a refreshing energy to the space. Parking has changed since my last visit, but the new layout flows well and is easy to navigate. As a photographer, I was in awe of the variety of backdrops available—lush greenery, walking paths, fountains, and natural light galore. It’s truly a dream location with endless photo opportunities. The Pavilion itself is lovely for events. While the sunlight can be strong at certain times of the day (which is normal for most glass-heavy venues), the ambiance and architecture still shine through. It’s a versatile space that works beautifully for weddings, portraits, and any elegant gathering. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a venue that blends nature, charm, and elegance all in one!

First time visiting here and it was a nice small park in the community! :) It’s a great place to enjoy nature! Rich in green and the park is well maintained! Kids park is available for water activity! Cheers 🥂

Awesome place for events. Pretty inside with clean restrooms. Nice space for weddings or other events. Plenty of parking.

Sun blasting through the glass windows made it pretty warm inside. Can't believe that they don't have any ceiling fans that would make a big difference.

We love the grounds and event space. Awesome spot to plan an event or special gathering.

We love the Arboretum! The kids love to play in the kids area (splash pad, swings, giant chess/checkers, connect4, cornhole, and a spinner), and we love to explore the beautiful grounds! There’s also a lovely patio with string lights and tables and chair swings that is perfect for an evening hangout with friends. It’s open until 10p, and there are nice public restrooms. It’s the perfect spot for our family to enjoy!

My husband and I attended a private company Christmas party here last week. The facility is beautiful and the food was very good. There is ample parking with very nice landscaping. Facility staff are professional and dressed appropriately for their duties in clean, white, food service uniforms. The cleanliness of the facility was excellent, and the hardwood floors were gleaming. Impressive location and atmosphere.

Beautiful natural nature is always astoundingly astounding! WoodWay Wizard is back. Tell somebody. WebZDeZign.com for more information. ✌️💜😈 🧙‍♂️🪄💛
