Love the Arboretum. Very well kept and managed by some very kind people. They allowed us to plant a tree in honor of a friend who passed away and it has since become a very special place that our loved ones can gather to pay tribute to a long lost friend. Thank you Leila

Sadly neglected. Looks like it was beautiful at one time. They made an attempt at the entrance with some nice plantings. Theres a community garden that seems to be actively in use. A lot of people were using the disc golf.

This was such an unexpected find in Battle Creek! We happened to drive by and decided to visit. Lots of neat statues to see in the Fantasy Forest. The scenery was beautiful throughout the rest of the park. Beautiful walking paths and hardly any trash to be seen. I highly recommend this unassuming gem!

Beautiful park, a bit overgrown since quarantine but always a nice place to go walking. I did my eagle scout project making birdhouses and hanging them in the park and the staff was great and friendly.

Leila Arboretum is absolutely gorgeous first of all. Its a wonderful walk either by yourself or with family. Should you be interested in pokemon go, you will be surprised by the sheer amount of pokemon, pokestops and gyms.

This is truly a gem and a must-see! This natural area is breathtaking with so many affects of nature to see; a forest, labyrinth, butterfly garden, sculpture garden, etc. Perfect for families, dogs, jog, or just to gather peace of mind. It amazes me that this is in an urban area, Im happy this place is protected. This place just makes me feel happy and appreciate life.

If youre looking for some quality outdoor time in BC, this is the place for you. I only spent about an hour here but I couldve spent the whole day here! The wood carvings are beautiful and fun to take pictures with. I was kind of bummed that the peace labyrinth was overgrown. I want to go back and explore all the trails!

Best place to visit with family on a cool day. The park is huge and maintained very well. The entire place is picture perfect and best suited for a long walk. Park also has very beautiful statues, children garden and community garden. There is also a museum inside, but was closed on memorial day.

Not a regular visitor... yet. I will definitely have to play the disc golf course soon if the weather stays nice! I’ve had family pictures taken there, and have ride bikes there. Great place for walking the dog!Aaaaaand it has a cool tree sculpture garden that I still need to explore, but overall, a very nice retreat, just outside of the city! Not to mention Kingman museum that is on site as well!!!

Review №64

A very nice peaceful place. It has disc golf there. I heard the museum was back open but Im not sure about that. The museum was a very nice thing that they had. But theyve barely put in the totem poles and made it more beautiful up there and its very nice. Just be warned I feel you should go with somebody or a few people because Ive had troubles up there and Im not looking for trouble and we were just playing just got off. And some young kid you know how they can be.

Nice park. Would be better if people picked up after their pets. And didnt leave beer bottles/cans around. We like to refer to the disc golf course as Humbleretum. Takes twice as long to play than the other local courses. We play once or twice a year.

Leila Arboretum has a wide variety of botanical flower gardens, trees and plants. The carvings in Fantasy Forest are a treat for kids to observe. This park area of the Leila Arboretum features a permanent stage now for presentations and concerts. I was here for the Leilapalooza Music Festival and had a very good time. Sound quality was quite good whether a full band playing or a single person singing and playing acoustic guitar. No concessions most of the time, but during festivals and some special events, there is food and drink available.

The Leila Arboretum has really changed since I was a girl. It has lovely flowers and fantastic live green trees. So pretty now. It has lots of statues that are made out of wood I think and its definitely just a lovely place to take a walk or drive through.
