What we’re about
Few places are as beautiful and accessible as the Arnold Arboretum. If you want to meet wonderful folks and explore amazing paths, this group is for you!
Our walks last around two hours. Below are directions to our meeting location, helpful links, and information.
- Our walks are approximately two hours (10 am-12 pm). Please wear shoes or boots with good traction, as not all paths are paved.
- Restrooms are in the Hunnewell Visitor's Center (our first stop) and along the trail.
- This group is free to all, but donations are welcome. If you'd like to donate, please consider purchasing themed merchandise with our group logo here: arb-walkers-store.printful.me. 🧢👕📔 Proceeds go to the walking group.
Directions:
We meet at the Forest Hills Gate at 10 AM every Saturday. Forest Hills Gate is on the Arborway.
Please note: This is not the gate directly across from Forest Hills Station. (That's Washington Gate.) Forest Hills Gate is a five-minute walk from the T station, but more accessible for pedestrians, drivers, and T riders.
From the MBTA: In Forest Hills Station, turn left as you exit the turnstile and follow signs for the Arborway. Cross the street and walk uphill along the Arborway, following the stone wall to your left. This is about a 5-minute walk.
Driving: In your GPS, enter the address "Forest Hills Road." This will take you to the Forest Hills Gate. Parking is available on the Arborway.
The walking group's first stop is the Hunnewell Visitor's Center, where we can use the restrooms and fill our water bottles. You're welcome to meet us there if you'd like. We get there between 10:10 and 10:35 am. You can wait near the entrance of the Center if preferred. See you soon!
