Washington Park · Directions
Washington Park pairs a historic Olmsted and Vaux landscape with an arboretum, nature area, Harvest Garden, lagoon, aquatic center, three playgrounds, broad sports facilities, and the Fountain of Time sculpture.
The park is large enough that cultural, aquatic, fieldhouse, and sports destinations operate as separate visits. Program and pool schedules should be checked directly.
