This place (Since 1928) proposed to conserve endangered species and educate the community, Hoyt Arboretum encompasses 190 ridge-top acres and 12 miles of hiking trails just minutes from downtown Portland. Home to 2,300 species of trees and shrubs from six continents, Hoyt Arboretum is a place to contemplate for a relaxing and serenity moment. You can join Washington park and see the Rose Garden and play tennis !

Beautiful natural oasis close to the city. Entry is free and you only pay for parking if visiting by car, which is $2 an hour or $8 max a day. We walked the redwood trail which takes about an hour and only went back to the car because it started to rain. Highly recommend this trail as the enormous trees are awe inspiring.

beautiful area. lots of trails with clear signage -- from a 30 min loop to a 2 hour loop, there's something for everyone. the area we parked in didn't have many spots, but we were able to find parking easily due to it being a wednesday morning.

Folks should know that the trails are easy to walk (lots of small hills and valleys) and that this "living tree museum" is designed to provide color and interest in all seasons (for winter it's holly berries and camellias; in the spring the magnolia blossoms are incredibly showy). Make sure you stop and take time to explore/look around: I thought a tree had been carved into and my husband pointed out that it was insect activity - so cool. And, you can park pretty much anywhere in the park - but obey the signs and leave ZERO that's valuable in your car Thieves are pretty common and they've smashed windows even in crowded spaces, so just beware so that you can enjoy yourselves.

From website: City law requires dog owners to keep their dog(s) on a leash at all times while in the park. There are no off-leash areas in Hoyt Arboretum. Dog owners are required to pick up and dispose of their dog’s waste each and every time. The purpose of the leash law is to ensure that dogs are kept under control for the safety and enjoyment of all park visitors and to protect the park’s environment, trails and wildlife. If you are planning to bring your dog, please read our Dog Policy in the sidebar.
Seems to be one of the shortest. I would download the trail map on their site if that is available to you.
Every season has something interesting and trees are always beautiful. There is a winter garden with a packed dirt trail. Stop at the visitor center for maps and advice.
Parking is the same rate as in downtown: $2 per hour. The arboretum currently (March, 2020) has a mix of free and paid parking. There are two paid lots directly adjacent to the Visitor Center, on either side of Fairview Blvd. There are also a number of free spaces along Fairview Blvd itself, as it passes in front of the Visitor Center. These spaces are often full, especially in nice weather, but turn over fairly frequently. Additionally, there are several pull-out spots within the park itself, along Fischer Lane, as well as near the Winter Garden, along SW Cascade Lane. These locations can be hard to find, however; especially the small Winter Garden parking area, which holds a maximum of 4 cars.
No, but you might have to pay for parking if you can't find free parking. Hope this helps.
189 acres, 12 miles of trails, over 6000 specimens including 2000 species.
There are definitely barred owls and great horned owls at Hoyt. I'm not sure about smaller owls - large owls will hunt them, so even if they are there you probably won't see them.
There are some picnic benches that you could probably secure your bike to, but I didn't see any designated bike stands when I went there.
Hoyt Arboretum's grounds and trails are open daily from 5am to 10pm. The Visitor Center is currently closed due to COVID-19.
There are ups and downs but not strenuous. If you have a hard time with stairs in general I wouldn't recommend.
No. Very few trails are paved. But with a babyJogger stroller, we could get on all the trails.
Every season has its own charm, so you really can't choose a bad time to visit. SPRING: Definitely visit our Magnolia Trail, which explodes with some stellar blooms and fragrances from March all the way through late summer. SUMMER: Take advantage of the shade on the Creek Trail and under the redwoods near our Redwood Deck. AUTUMN: The entire Arboretum is gorgeous and fragrant at this time of year, but the best trails at that time are the Maple Trail and the Overlook trail to really see the fall colors. WINTER: THE time to see the Winter Garden (near the intersection of the Wildwood Trail and Cascade Drive). Hope this helps!

No, not at the arboretum visitor center /office. You might check with the zoo. There are two wheelchair accessible trails at the arboretum : the bristlecone pine and the overlook.
Yes they're open. If you search a little you can find free parking along the roads
