Confirmed from Irving Kent Memorial Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Informal spot featuring a playground, gardens, flower displays and soccer fields.

Webster Arboretum Kent Park was just stunning. Today. It was sunny but not hot. The grounds are kept in spectacular condition. The colors amazing. The walk is only just over a mile. Just a beautiful place.
The Arboretum is a beautiful park with many locations to walk. They have a bush maze (fun for the kids, and dads too), pond, plethora of flowers, brides, mini cascade, all sorts of different trees, benches and picnic tables, trails, pavillion, and a very nice building that gets rented out for wedding receptions and…
The park was amazingly beautiful. İt had many flowers and yes it is an amazing place to go for a relaxing walk there are many trails a playground for the kids to please at and picnic tables near the playground so you can keep an eye out on the youngsters there are many benches to sit at amongst the flowers trees.
This place is stunning in my opinion. if you love nature, you have trails and great scenery. Nice playground for the kids and special care given to allow children with disabilities to have fun too! There are memorials and history throughout the park. Botany lovers will have a field day! Photographers too..
