Annual Memberships offer even greater value. The garden is divided into several sections that are well marked and easy to traverse when you stay on the paved pathways. Sections include palms, oaks, chaparral, water features and art sculptures, as well. For those seeking a fun walking or jogging experience, check out the "Trail" route located in the CA Plant Communities section.

Cute and relaxing, even if you're near downtown Claremont. I've seen various seating options, not restrooms, though. They have a small stage, that'd be fun to watch a play, a concert in the summer.

They were definitely full and people kept coming in and out there was a lot of games going on. This park has clean restrooms and two play set.
