Parking Lot Nears Completion

Construction of the new Arboretum parking lot is nearing completion and is now open for vehicle parking. Landscaping and lighting installation remain to be completed. From the new parking lot, visitors will be able to access the greater part of the Arboretum's plant collection via a paved handicapable trail that will parallel the Valley Road and end in the Heath Cove. This feature will further improve access to the Arboretum for not only those with a handicap, but for those who might have difficulty walking and for parents with baby strollers.

Partial funding for the new parking lot has come from the same source as the funds for trail improvements - the Tennessee Department of Conservation, Recreational Trails Program.
