My daughter and I love this park! Its beautiful year round. We even did an egg hunt there for Easter. My daughter loves playing in the stream that runs through it and I especially enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms, daffodils and lilacs that cover the park in the Spring. Its a perfect place for a photo shoot for sure!Oh yea, and they have some great trees for climbing!

Wondeful Park! I especially enjoyed the Touch and See trail, designed specifically for those with difficulties seeing so they could learn about different plants and reach out to feel the very plants they were learning about.I visited in the autumn and while we had an early cold snap in our area and many of the deciduous trees had brown or no foliage, the map I found at the entrance gave me suggestions of trees to find that had the best chances of being pretty to view for this time of year. The map was not wrong.I am definitely excited to visit again during Spring and Summer seasons.Please be aware they do not allow pets in the park and there are no resources to pick up pet excrement throughout the park.Parking is decent, the grounds are uneven and but there are some trails where a wheelchair may be able to access, best to see for yourself before bringing a wheelchair here though.

How had I never been here before today?!? So this place is beautiful and had the best fall colors right now, plus super accessable and close to downtown. Bonus points for the juvenile moose hanging out right by the parking lot. So cool.

Amazing iconic Spokane in its natural form . A wonderful place to wander . Great for a romantic picnic or stroll . Beautiful !

Acres and acres dedicated to tree species. Layout and access in this park is pretty awesome. The fall colors are incredible right now!

Great place to visit and see a lot of interesting plants and wildlife. It goes back a lot farther than most people probably explore and there is a lot to see! Definitely well taken care of. I would love to see an EV charging station in the parking lot so I can get a quick boost while enjoying nature.

A very beautiful arboretum. Well worth visiting. Two suggestions:1. Plant several lines of thick conifers right along i-90 so as to reduce the amount of traffic sound.2. On See &Touch trail, I would estimate at least half of the signs are inaccurate concerning plants that should be growing there.Then either need to be repositioned or removed. Would suggest checking these carefully.

Its a beautiful park. Tucked away that not everyone knows about. Aside from being to close to the freeway. I love it there.

One of our favorite places in Spokane. It has never been crowded when Ive gone so it is a great place for immunologically vulnerable people to go for a walk while at a safe distance from other people. Great place for any lover of nature.

This is a beautiful place to go! We enjoy going there and letting the kids run around. It is fun to explore new places and learn a little bit about the trees. This is a worthwhile place to go year round.

My girlfriend and I went here for luxury of relaxing after a long week. It was nice and peaceful, lifting up our spirits. Definitely recommended and also if you are a bus rider coming from downtown, it’s better to go across the bridge across the freeway on Government Way and Rosamond than climbing up Sunset Hill.

Short but quiet trail. I will definitely be going back

So peaceful. Theres a little brook running through it. Wide open spaces. Truly loved the experience! Saw a building, dont know if theres an inside to it but outside was lovely.

Beautiful park. I was part of a community garden there and it was nice to be in the park with others through covid

Took our annual Fall photo walk with my son and his family.We take pictures in the same places wirhin the Arboretum each year. The leaves havent fully turned yet but, still a beautiful place.

Really enjoyed walking the grounds at the arboretum learning about so many different species of trees and plants in the area. There are paths to follow, but you can wander anywhere. There are several trees you can actually go inside (under the canopies) for a truly peaceful experience!

The finch Arboretum has been one of the most amazing gems up Spokane beauty for most of its existence. I regularly will wander the park and just experienced the wonderment that it beholds :-) there is a lovely stream that flows through the center of the park and then at the back of the park theres a hidden little garden which I always want to venture towards :-) Im so grateful to Spokane and the wonderful parks department that keeps the magic alive :-)

This is a beautiful park. Its great for a picnic, chasing kids around, or tree climbing. Only down side is that dogs are not allowed.

So much to see. Great walking trails.

Amazing place for natural beauty. Saw a baby moose. Lots to see!

We did our family pictures here and even though there was snow on the ground in October it was beautiful!

Creative walking paths and beautiful sections of foliage. A clear respect and love of trees can be seen here. The only detractor is the constant audible drone of automobile activity along the adjacent interstate highway.

Its so beautiful, quiet and wide open. Lots of beautiful trees to look at.

Stayed 2 blocks away (thanks AirBnB!) so coming here for morning walks was EASY. If you drive, theres plenty of free parking. LOTS of trails. LOTS of signs to learn whats growing there. Many benches for contemplative sitting....love the creek bubbling through the arboretum. Its bigger than you think. Allow an hour to explore (and to take lots of pictures), at least!

Awesome park to explore and have a picnic with the family and friends! Great place to enjoy the trees and flowers. The little creek that runs through the park is so pretty!

So beautiful, Serene and relaxing! The ideal location for family gatherings! Take a picnic basket!

The park was very crowded lots of freeway noise. Numerous junky homes across the street. I loves the trees and the park is well cared for.

Street tree exhibit is outstanding. I have the written brochure which helped me see the shape of mature tree.

Very beautiful I want to come back and explore more as well as have a photoshoot done here

Gorgeous park! Great place to spend some outdoor fun with any loved one or with a cool stranger you just met. Enjoy

The first park/nature walk my husband and I could feel comfortable walking in for extended amounts of time. Its beautiful, spacious and doesnt have traditional walkways/sidewalks (we like that-- closer to nature, etc).

Lovely place to take pictures, go for a hike, or just walk through the beautiful fall leaves!

A great place where you can explore the beautiful trees and plant life. If you play Pokemon Go, there are lots of places to explore there too. A great place for class pictures and event pictures too! A gem in the Spokane area!

This little hidden gem is always a quiet refuge from the day. Rarely busy, always lovely. Nestled in the Sunset Hill area, the arboretum offers trails, streams, seating areas and a `programs center. Worth a visit in any season.

Finch Arboretum is one of my favorite places in the world! I love how it continues in and on; just when you think youve reached the end of the park, you find another area. The creek running down the middle is perfect. It is a wonderful place to relax and connect with nature.Only complaints: a few very small parts of the arboretum are messy and unkempt, and there is a lot of freeway noise since it borders the arboretum. Not sure theres any way to improve either of those.

It is a great place! Good for walks, picnics, etc. The only downsides are the nearby freeway and the port-a-potty.

Its so pretty here there was a little family of turkeys in the flowers are so pretty I love the little garden of vegetables its a nice place to take the kids

Very nice place!

Its quiet and beautiful place

This is a great place to picnic. Its a fun place during all the seasons. During the warmer seasons bug spray is definitely a necessity though because there are lots of mosquitoes near the water. There is a creek that runs straight through and if you follow the trail beside it all the way back there are lots of little bridges that cross it as well lots of little waterfalls.

Always love this place. A secret gem of Spokanes.

Beautiful day today.

A beautiful and peaceful place to go, it is cool seeing the different species of plant as well.

This is a really beautiful place, hidden and secluded, in a place one would never think it would be! Has a huge, beautiful tree that has three or four huge trunks (which I hear is famous place to have pictures taken). The grass is green, the trees and shrubs are well taken care of. I didnt see many flowers. Has a nice sized parking lot. Very close to I-90. All in all, a really nice place to go and take a walk and get out of the busy town for a minute! Great place for a photo shoot! Or walking the dog (please make sure and take a poop pick up bag). If you want a quiet place in the middle of town, this is the place! While yes, it is true, you can hear the cars on the freeway when you first arrive, but they are all but forgotten soon after as you walk around and enjoy the scenery and small escape!If you find this review helpful, please click the like button!

Love this park. We had our small wedding ceremony here and it was prefect. We enjoy coming back and walking around it and seeing the area in different seasons. Beautiful.

Great place to spend with the family, nice easy walk. My young kids had a blast. Stroller friendly.

The trees are giant and gorgeous. There are so many birds and a few other critters. The only down side is being right by the freeway but still totally worth it!

With the exception of the highway, its one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Spokane.

Great variety of tree species. Nice place for a walk.

Always a great nature walk for my two-year old.

We had a picnic on a nice fall day.

In 1907 a strip of land was purchased and later, in 1912 Finch purchased the surrounding land. There are over 2000 indigenous trees located in this Arboretum, a full place of flora and fauna it allows you to get out of the city for a while. You can do a self walking tour and depending on what season you go in, the experience will be different.

I cant understand why people dont go there

Super awesome place. Absolutely with a visit. I bet in summer its even better than the fall.

Lots of area to explore with different trees and bushes. Didnt care for them not having a lot of pathways, so your tromping through the grass and weeds. Not wheelchair friendly. Some trees were labled, but the majority werent and others were so old you cant read the markers. Stunning place and wed go again when the plants are in bloom.

Nice arboretum for a slow stroll. Except for the unending noise from the interstate, kind of a bummer.

Fun little strip of land to walk through but out is surrounded be noisy roads. There is a touch and see trail and the information about all the plants is fun. Good little learning excursion and some excersise for the kiddos for sure.

I now know the dinasaurs had plenty to eat back in the day ! These trees are hard to believe they were once this size . I wish all our trees were this size still !!! I wont add photos here there are so many good photos taken already .It is so worth the trip to wonder around all day . Some if the tree were missing tags so I dont know what they were called .

Good day for a stroll in the park. Even in February its pretty.

After visiting here, I will make a point to visit every other Arboretum I find.Some great trees here

Very nice area to relax or take in scenary

Absolutely serene little area! Love it!

Always a neat park to visit, especially in the fall.

Nice park, restroom facilities not the best and sometimes get some sketchy ppl, but nice for the most part

Gorgeous trees I suggest going in late fall or early spring and you will see some incredible sites

Such a magical place to explore and take epic photos! Thank you for the upkeep its always so glorious

Its an experience, everybody has to go there to experience it for themselves.

Its beautiful here and I look forward to watching the seasonal changes.

So pretty but I wish we could take the pups

One of the best places, undoubtedly, here in Spokane to see those fall colors.You will find a lot of photo shooting activities with everyone making the best use of the gorgeous background.

I just love this place. They have a great variety of trees and keep the grounds well maintained. Explore the Arboretum in every season. The crabapple trees were just in bloom and looked spectacular. Right now their collection of lilacs are in bloom. They look and smell wonderful. In the summer everything is green and lush. Fall brings the wonderful colors. There is a creek running through the Arboretum and plenty of park benches to rest on or pull up a rock. The kids will enjoy climbing on them. They do have bathroom facilities. The only draw back is the freeway noise. Please remember, no dogs are allowed.

Soo purdy! Love the trees!

Took family, great fun and entertaining. Educational, well maintained and beautiful. Perfect isolated location with lots of space so no fear of running into other visitors. Seating areas for pausing and taking in the beauty of nature. Low grade hiking so easy for all family members.

Beautiful any time of the year, more so in spring and summer when everything is in bloom. A serious tease to tree workers especially climbers.

Amazing trees. Great place to have a picnic.

Great plàce to walk!

It really deserves a better rating however the grounds have been let go due to the virus and thats why I gave it a low rating

Such a beautiful place to immerse yourself in nature. So close to downtown, yet blanketed in a peaceful lull.

We love it here. Several trails to walk on and always well kept.

Wonderful park with labeled trees. There is some road noise from the interstate.

Never really crowded, beautiful setting, awesome place to walk.

Hard to believe this place rarely has very many people. Its so peaceful. There are trees so large, they have benches under them and the tree surrounds you completely. Must see to appreciate. It is NOT a dog friendly park. Dogs are NOT allowed so they can maintain the health and beauty of trees. So many people think this doesnt apply to them.

Very peaceful with lots of trails that are easily accessible for all ages

Wonderful place! Went to gather leaves for the garden. Good place to get them as they don’t use pesticides and such during the year, and they’re free.

Beautiful and peaceful! Nice and quiet place to go for relaxing stroll

Beautiful fall colors!

Great place to take family and nature pictures.

LOADS OF MUSHROOM PICTURE OPS, ALSO GOTTA LOVE FRESH Witch Hazel AND DOGWOOD

Excellent place to go for a walk.

Great collection of trees and shrubs to view throughout the year

The trees are all so magnificent!

It is so beautiful here. And well kept. The one negative I have is folks bringing their dogs even though it is not allowed. My daughter had her wedding here but you have to get permission and pay a fee.

This is a great visit for every season! The walk isnt too long, but features many different species of trees and shrubs. Especially in the fall, the park is just beautiful and fantastic for pictures.

This is an exceptionally nice area just west of downtown Spokane. Many beautiful trees and plants to see. Especially nice in the springtime. There is a spring fed creek running right through the middle of it. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place to just get away, walk around, relax and take pictures.

A gorgeous walk right next to a freeway is possible? Yes, here in our bustling city, Finch Arboretum offers all the benefits of being out in nature; peace, quiet, serene, babbling creek, and, of course, Trees! There are nice plaques in the ground around most trees and shrubs, identifying them. They also include unique facts sometimes too! There is a portion of an amazing path that has rope and Braille on the plaques, donated , I believe, by the Girl Scouts. Enjoy the fresh air and reconnect with nature.

Great for a beautiful hike through an amazing forest. Love reading the plaques about the trees.

Beautiful landscaping, the trees are lovely.
