Great walking trails in every season. Some boardwalks, many paved paths, an amphitheater, some fun play areas, a frog pond, a lookout or two, a little bridge, and a secret courtyard. The gardens are all well-kept. My go-to spot for spring, summer, and fall petal-peeping. The rose garden is a popular photo-op.

Of all the metro parks in the area, this is by far my favorite. There are so many beautiful places to enjoy. This was my first visit, and if you have never been, plan the trip!

Inniswood does have plant sales, but you'd have to check the website (there should be a link to the website on Google maps) or call Inniswood (again, phone number should be available on Google maps) to find out when the next sale is.

You can go online and check out all the schedules and or cancellations that the metro parks list on their website. Most classes meet at the park's central building located just a short walk from the parking lot.

Are there wheelchair accessible paths?

Ellin Patchen | Oct 9, 2017
Maria Wolf | Oct 9, 2017

The paths in the woods are boardwalks or packed gravel, but the paths near the flower beds are paved and smooth. Pick up a map at the entrance the paths are marked on it.

Does Inniswood have a section devoted to various kinds of iris?

Jackie Bird | Oct 9, 2019
Rebekah Smith | Oct 9, 2019

When we were there a couple of weeks ago I know I saw Iris coming up, but I can't remember if there is an entire section or if they were evenly dispersed throughout the park

I've been there and seen the owls. I just read that there were eagles, are they nesting or was it a chance sighting?

Michael White | Oct 9, 2019
Farzad Ehtemam | Oct 9, 2019

Not sure about eagles but some people were talking about a huge hawk the day we were there. We couldn't see it though. So maybe chance?

Are dogs allowed if on leash

K C | Oct 9, 2018
Jenn Vallella | Oct 9, 2018

Like Jill said, not inside the gardens. There is another path near the greenhouses adjacent to the parking lot that allows dog walking. When you enter the parking area you'll see picnic tables on the right hand side, the path is to the left of that grassy area, it's hard to see if you're not looking for it.
