We live in Jacksonville and were visiting the West Palm Beach area visiting our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids. We were in the Deerfield area and found this park and wow it's so nice! My wife and I walked around looking at all the beautiful plants and trees for several hours. They also have a few water falls as well. They have paved walkways and you can bring your dogs along for the walk. They do have trails you can venture off through the plants and trees that leads back to the paved paths. We loved it! On the grounds they have tennis courts, basketball courts and a nice playground for kids. If you are ever in the area you MUST stop by this park! We definitely recommend it! read more

I've been meaning to visit this little gem in the middle of Deerfield Beach. Thanks to a generous soul, we have a lush, green walking area with so many botanicals to see and learn about. The paved walking path winds around the grounds filled with shade trees, flowering plants, small water falls and plenty of benches. It also houses a few pavilions and restrooms. Out front is the office and a city tennis/pickleball court, children's playground and basketball court. It is also dog friendly and acts as an afternoon child care center. The walk through the arboretum was delightful. I was surprised to see it is open until 9pm. Parking was in a private lot and there was no fee to visit the arboretum. I will return to this peaceful place and enjoy its good energy. read more

Such a serene nature trail. Surrounding by beautiful trees, plants, flowers, streams and waterfalls. Nine acres that include so many species of plants and trees that are even marked with their names to learn about them. Benches are available throughout. It is located behind a playground called Constitution park. Just love the Arboretum area and it's definitely a hidden gem and also a "tree zoo." Can't wait to take a walk or just relax on a bench sometime very soon! read more

Not sure if they close the trail down at a certain time but I was out there just before the sun set it was a beautiful trail to walk

This is the spot to disconnect and find your inner peace. It is a shaded and dog-friendly oasis, known as the "tree zoo." Hidden just north of the busy Hillsboro Blvd behind the farmers market, the Arboretum takes you into another world through the most peaceful journey in seeing exotic plants and trees spanning 5 different continents. A horticulturist's dream. Benches overlook the waterfalls. A great place to unwind, explore, or read a book. Kudos to the passionate volunteers who maintain this park. read more

I saw this Arboretum trending on Instagram and I knew I had to check it out. I have to say I can't believe I have never heard of it before because it was incredible! There were a ton of people also there so parking can be a little difficult but at least the parking is free. The park has a playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, and then right behind it all is the Arboretum. The arboretum is a fantastic walking trail. It has several hundreds of different species all throughout and it has signage naming each one so you get to learn a bunch while you are walking around. The pathway is paved and includes many branching walkways to benches, picnic tables, and places to see even more so you aren't on a linear walk. They also have a bunch of alligator signs so you may be lucky enough to spot one when walking around. I could easily spend an hour walking around counting the species of plants and seeing which one is thriving the most throughout the exhibit. I can't wait to visit again and see more than what I saw on my first visit. read more

After driving around Deerfield looking for something to do with my little ones, my mother suggested the arboretum, since my son wanted to see butterflies. Could not have been more perfect. There is a beautiful playground with artificial turf and sun shades, with play structures for kids of all ages. There are clean restrooms with a water bottle refill station and even a little free library. My son found another child to play with and we spent a few hours there. They have picnic tables where we had lunch and benches throughout. Best part were the butterflies fluttering around as he played. read more

Amazing Place............ My husband found this hidden gem riding his bike through Deer Creek a few years ago. He was so excited to tell me about it and even more excited to bring me here. It's located at Constitution park along Hillsboro Boulevard. The first time here, we parked by the tennis courts and then he walked me over to the fenced area and I was amazed along the entire walk through this botanical garden or forest. It had every type of tree..... spice trees, exotic trees, bamboos, colorful trees and strange trees. There was an area for butterflies and I was so happy to see so many butterflies (some I never saw before). If you're lucky you can see a all kinds of beautiful birds; we say some blue jays. I was so impressed how nice they keep this place. And I love that all the trees, plants and flowers are labeled so you know what type it is and where its from. They even have these ponds, streams and small waterfalls; and there are wood benches around so you can sit and enjoy the nature. If you're in the area, please stop by and enjoy this peaceful place. read more

So as to not be a complete shut-in during this Corvid-19 pandemic, I decided to go visit the Deerfield Beach Arboretum as I heard it was open. Well, that was only partly true. The office was closed along with picnic tables, park benches, children's playground facilities, etc. But of course, the arboretum trees and plants were viewable. However, as such rather messy and unattended with information signs mostly unreadable or entirely missing. The place is huge, about nine acres, but now, I suspect because of the pandemic, all looking rather run down. Some of the trees are amazing like one has never seen before. For me, the "Indian Mast Head" growing enshrined with leaves straight up in the air some 50 feet was amazing. So is Deerfield Beach Arboretum worth visiting. Well to be honest, not now during this pandemic. read more

This place is absolutely magical. Checked this place out last weekend. It's a short walk, 1/2 mile and there are so many plants to see! It's very shady for the most part so going in the summer wasn't too bad. Only saw 2 other humans my entire visit! The rainforest additions were very well done. I'm amazed we have something so beautiful around here :) read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon because all the gardens were closed. This park is open Sunrise to Sunset. They do NOT have public bathrooms. Unless they have them when the building is open, but since it is attached to a park with basketball, play ground etc. I would think they would have a bathroom open while the park was open. They have exercise little outdoor things for stretching and push-ups. They have lots and lots of trees from all over the world. My favorite was the coffee Bean tree and the yang Ling treeWe came here on a Sunday afternoon because all the gardens were closed. This park is open Sunrise to Sunset.

Today I had the delightful experience of visiting the spectacular Deerfield Beach Arboretum. A friend had suggested we would enjoy the experience and she was right on the money. As it turns out, our timing on this overcast day was perfect because we managed to get our walk around the park in prior to the skies opening up and raining down on us. The lack of sun (and other visitors) today probably helped us enjoy our visit even more as it was not as hot or crowded. We managed to see tree and plants the likes of which we have not encountered previously in our experiences (outside of books, television and films) both in Florida and other parts of the world. And yes, they do have species of trees and flowers from all over the world. I will let my photographs do my talking for me regarding the range of beautiful species that we encountered there today. I highly recommend visiting this hidden gem. My other family members concurred with my opinion of the park. A true treasure! read more

Located in the rear of Constitution Park, the wonderful Deerfield Beach Arboretum calls itself a "tree zoo". The nine acre area has approximately two hundred trees from five different continents. In the arboretum you will find fruit trees, spice trees, exotic varieties as well as native, a butterfly garden, bamboo, wetlands, benches, picnic pavilions, a waterfall, ponds, flowers, and wildlife. Some of the wildlife you can expect to see included turtles, butterflies, wading birds, ducks, and even otters. On the day I visited I was lucky to see a hummingbird. I had never seen one in the wild before and it was a real thrill for me. There is also exercise stations along the half mile path that provide equipment as well as instructions. A rain forest at the cost of $140,000 was added to the park in 2016. There is a canal that runs along both sides of the park separating it from houses and businesses. The arboretum is currently maintained by the Friends of the Deerfield Beach Arboretum. They offer free tours of the arboretum every Friday and on the first Saturday of the month at 10:00 am. If you are a group they request a $25 donation. You can meet in front of the recreation center for the tour. read more

This place is a lovely place to stroll and view the many wonderful trees and plants. There is plenty of shade and lots of places to sit and a few gazebos. There were butterflies and birds and lizards. This is definitely a place I would recommend. read more

This is a hidden gem not far from I-95. Met my Mom at sunrise for a walk through the park. She is a bird watcher and I am a photographer. Encountered only a handful of other people, mostly mall walkers minus the mall, and a very diverse tree and flower collection. Can soak it all in in under an hour unless you decide to play tennis or basketball (they have both courts). If you are a tree or plant nerd then it is worth the visit. read more
