Alpharetta Arboretum

The Alpharetta Arboretum at Wills Park is an outdoor tree collection established in 2008 within one of the city's largest public parks. Rather than a building, it is a walking arboretum of roughly two dozen labeled specimens showcasing native and non-native trees of the Southeastern United States, ranging from green ash, elm, and dogwood to oak, cherry, persimmon, and cottonwood. A printed guide, available at the Downtown Alpharetta Welcome Center, leads visitors on a self-directed tour of the specimens. The arboretum is part of a broader green space at Wills Park that also includes a community garden, making it a modest but educational nature stop in north metro Atlanta.
